Hi

Have you got a dedicated com port.

[cmfable]

on my pc, only got 1 com port, and dreamup just shows com 1... im using a standard null modem cable, which works perfect on my other dreambox

Hi

Ive attached a few different versions of dreamup with a couple of patched ones, try the dm500 one think thats the one that kick started the one I did.

If and once connected erase the corrupted image a few times before flashing fresh image. After that any version of dreamup should connect in future should you need to.

ill give that a try now

Hi

I was getting that before the one Ive attached managed to connect. Think thats the standard message while dreamup is waiting for response from box.

nope none work, that dreamup dm500 just says in progress got startsequence, stating upload.... but its not doing anything

[mast]

Does the patched dm500 show a progress bar preparing the box. Are you powering box up after you press connect (Im sure you are but just making sure).

[cmfable]

in the progress bar it says startsequence, stating upload... but the bar is not moving and yes click connect then power up the box, is it totally dead?

[mast]

Well stumped here not sure what else to suggest except in device manager is your comport com1.

[cmfable]

yeah, think its ebay and a new board for this box then?

[mast]

Also you say youve used this comp before to flash your other box, is that a 500s too.

Just a long shot turn off firewall.

[cmfable]

yeah i used this comp to flash my other box, and why turn firewall off when im using null modem?

[cmfable]

i allways flash via cable

[mast]

Yeh it was a longshot its just that thats only thing I could think of cos I remembered that my firewall was off so maybe was clutching at straws really, was kinda anxious to get your box going .

Aah well no other ideas im out now time to go to land of nod.
