Dreambox not starting up?

[irsh12]

I'm currently having a problem with my dreambox, it was working fine before and it said tune failed, i took the power cord out and now when I'm re-inserting it, nothing happens, there isn't anything on the screen or on the OLED display.

How do I solve this?

Thanks.

They do that now and then just keep putting the power in and out quickly.
Think its a way to stop you crashing the box.

I have tried that aswell, still nothing, any ideas? Just to confirm, I am meant to plug it in then take it out quickly, would that not damage the box?

THanks.

In and out and back in again for me.
Happened to me when i first got my box last year and i thought it was shagged.
Have to remember these linux boxes are a bit flakey.

The tuner could be loose and would give this symptom also. Take of the back plate, slide out the tuner and re-insert it.

Power back up the box to test and it should work. Power down again put back plate on and power back on.

Just tried that, still nothing in the display. Any other ideas?

I tried powering it on with the tuner out still nothing.

Dont suppose you have a another Psu?

You need to remove the tuner and replace it back in it's slot and then power up. Are there any signs of life at the back of the box, i.e. the ethernet port LEDs?

Other than that try Dreamup and see if that can see the box.

I tried the dreamup, it doesn't see it, the LED's of the ethernet doesn't light up.

Could be the PSU as Andy says sorry.

Was going to say that wont it connect to Dreamup,doesnt sound good does it?
Think i would wait till it cools down and try again.
Where did you buy it from?

From aliexpress in HK, I purchased 1 already before and it's still working fine. I've compared this one to the one I have already and it looks nothing similar, on the tuner it says MIDE instead of MADE.

Also, am I corrent to say the box wouldn't boot up without a tuner?

Thanks.
