    DM800HDse problem

    Hello, hope someone can help.
    I have a genuine Dreambox 800HDse and recently changed from open pli to a Newnigma 2 image.
    It worked fine for 2 weeks, apart from not being able to download plugins as it said the flash was too full.
    A couple of days ago the screen went blank and it froze on trying to re-boot it.
    I tried to re-flash an image but, despite the box seemingly going into flash mode (on the front panel display) the flash screen did not display on my computer.
    I cannot now do anything with the box.
    Any suggestions as to a solution would be gratefully received.
    cheers all,
    gfrree

      Thanks for the idea, hadn't thought of that. Will give it a go, but why should the browser I've used several times before suddenly not work? I still think it's the box.

        remove the tuner and boot the box again.
        i had this problem with a faulty tuner. the box was rebooting always.

          Thanks chriskross. I have tried your suggestion without success.
          The problem is not that it keeps re-booting, it just won't boot up at all. It freezes on the "please wait" screen.
          When I try to re-flash an image (in the hope of fixing the problem) I just get the "Dreambox Webcontrol" screen trying to load in my browser, rather than the "Flash Image" screen.

            Just to let you all know, I managed to revive the box using a mini USB cable connection and the DreamUp software. When I did finally get the flash screen up in my browser I got a message saying my box "may not have a valid operating system installed". Any suggestions on how to rectify this? I have installed the Newnigma2 image and it seems to be working ok apart from not being able to locate new plugins on the on-line feed.
            cheers
