Are you getting the power light flashing or on?
Open up the box and ,ake sure that the ribbon cable is connected to the motherboard....if its not your controls wont work either but check it out.Had similiar probs with others.

Would it not have been cheaper just to replace the oled, around ?20 or try swapping with a mate 1st then send the damage oled back to china and get the new one.

no point buying a new oled display, im just sending the box back to the seller, and exchange it with a working receiver, as soon as i take delivery of the replacement, il sell it on ebay for about ?150. to get a replacement receiver its going to take good 10/15 days to sort out, i cant wait that long.

i want everything setup before 3/4th august so i just ordered a new box from a different seller.

Easy mate, as simple as a few screws and pop it out.

how much is it costing you to send the back?? make sure you get it tracked to the delivery address as with royal mail pretty sure its only tracked yill it arrives in the country of destination

not to sure, i told her yesterday about the problem, she told me to send some pics or a video. shes not come back online today, sent her an email, awaiting reply.

i might send it back via dhl. how much do you think it will cost to send?

Do any of your mates have a dm800? try swapping them 1st, then if ok, just send the front back.

Save you money and if it goes walkies then its a easy replacement.

Here is a dm7025 replacement will try find a 800 but just the same anyway.
