Hi,
I had one like this fault after only 2 weeks, tried all sorts to no avail.Think I was still getting audio if I used the component lead. Luckily I bought from ukdreamshop, they tried a repair that didnt work and ended up getting a replacement box,

Should have replaced it in the first place mate, if they had managed to repair it then you would have been paying full price for a refurbished receiver.

Back on topic, as mentioned what method are you using to flash it?

Is it a new receiver?

As much info as you can give helps

Right it a clone and it been a great box untill now aaaaarrrrrrr
using nul ans rs232 lead it would be nice to get a picture and do a live flash update , but like i say it takes the flash no probs just wont show any picture on the tv

If you have had no problems flashing with the method you are using previously in the past then I would open it up mate and just check that none of the wiring has came loose.

If I remember right there is two screws on either side and 3 at the rear, unscrew them check all the wiring is ok, push down on the connections gently just to make sure none have came slightly loose.

Also when flashing I always suggest not to have anything else running on your computer, dont use web browser etc.

if you open the box, have a look on the underside of mainboard and see if there is any visible signs of damage to tracks etc
