stuck on green light problem

[ade786]

guys, sorry for being annoying but ive got 1 more question..
ive bought a dreambox 500s which is stuck on the green light, i think this needs a flash with a new image so ive got everything except for a null modem cable?
is there a way i can use a ethernet cable? but i dont know the dreambox's ip?
any one please help

It is unlikely to have an IP, the only thing you can try is serial and if that doesn't work it is a jtag job.

thanks in advance

yes you can use Ethernet try dreambox control center on my siggy it will search for your ip , but if that don't work yes a null modem cable is the same

cant understand why you buy a faulty box when you are a complete n00b. Surely it makes sense to buy a working box, get the feel of things and when you are confident maybe buy a cheap faulty one to try and fix
