    Steady green light

    Hello,

    Hope you can help me here. I had jade image running on my box for a year now, I woke up 2 days ago to find the box stuck on green light and a black screen, after some search I flashed the erase image but couldn't flash any image after. So I took it to tge shop, he successfully flashed jade image on the box again and worked perfectly in the shop, I went back home, hocked it up, still the same problem, the box is stuck on green light and can see nothing on tge TV, I checked the connections between TV and the box and it's good, I even tried a different power supply but still the same, any ideas?

    Remove the sat feed from it and see if it boots up ok.

    Sat feed could be causing the box to crash.

        connect again with dreamup and serial cable, when prompted, power up 500 and do a flash erase, then flash your image to it. disconnect dreamup and power off box.
        Then connect up as normal to tv and power up and see how it goes!!
        Whatever!!

            To save time and trouble buy yourself a new main board ?30 on fleabay,replace the board and then flash it as normal all should be back to normal.

              Just to make sure- when boothed up, try and select a chanell, i have darkstar 2 running on mine, wont show anything on screen after boot logo until i go in and select a chanell.(cause i aint selected any to show on startup).
              Just a last gasp effort from me! Else you going to have to purchase!!

              Also might be worth using a diff 12v power supply, had one before that power supply was causing box to crash, maybe was losing voltage for a few milliseconds , whatever it was when i changed the psu it sorted it - thats if you have one at hand!!

                I can't even see the boot up screen logo, as I mentioned before nothing shows on TV.

                And as i also mentioned in my first post, I tried another psu.

                  Well, if you have tried different scart lead just to be sure, then i'd say replacement board is the only answer mate!!
                  Whatever!!

                    Tried that also, I guess I'll buy a new one.
