Hi mate,

Yeah it comes on when I eventually get it connected, but it is all blurry and unreadable. I think it is defo a power issue on the board.

have u a spare power supply thats the same output ? l use an old modem feed if l flash a box . as long as the out puts the same , so if u have it connected to the router and power up with the power button pressed and release after 10 seconds can u see it on your network ? if u can type that in your internet browser and see if u can get a webpage

No it does not show up, it's like the Flash chip is corrupt!

as the tuners are the biggest problem with these boxes l wonder if u remove that and power up and see if the display works then incase its shorting out ?

Another good suggestion. Tuner is out and the only thing connected is the lcd. Still the same issues.

? have u anything to check the power voltage from your brick (power supply )

I have tried about 10 different power supplies as I have a load of DM500's. They are the exact same. Still no joy. Do you know where I can get a schematic of the mainboard?

Hi i have same problem , it startet after installing update from the dreambox menu , then it could not find any tuner and i could not chose any. Then i made reset to factory settings , and then when starting up where i chose resolution and such i could not make any changes and could only press ok , then no light in lcd display , but the box is running . It does not show up in my router. Have tried another power suply.

MIne is a clone too. What should I be using to update?

clone safe software m8

Take the top off and check the 4 big electrolytic capacitors have flat tops. If the tops are at all bellied upwards they are stuffed, I would just replace them anyway whether they look naff or not.

These boxes are just way too small to get rid of the heat that they generate and the electrolytics dry out really fast. Your symptoms are exactly what will happen when they are heading South.

I thought dreamUP was clone safe. I have always used it and it has been successful in the past. Can you suggest others and where I can get them. I will try anything now to get this box up and running. Cheers mate.

Thanks for the reply mate. Where would I get replacements?
