Throw it in the bin its not worth a fire hazard. I had an old Dbox that did the same and it caught fire.

You plug the power supply into the box, then plug the PSU into the mains. No Sparks and less likely to blow the box.
Hi lincast hope you are well, it sounds like the old starview 8882 box problem. if so it will need a jtag ive still got a max232 knocking about somewhere.
Just solved the problem.
Null modem cable, this loader F3 EROM UPGRADE KOSAT, and last firmware from skybox.cc.
Worked first try.
Thanks everyone who tried to help.

Great stuff, jTAG problem will be next just like the good old days .
It seems that finally i managed to solve it. Used the F3 EROM UPGRADE KOSAT found above. Many thanks to vibore!
this doesn't work must of been pure lucky in the bin now,avoid fs5 and get the f3s miles more stable and yet to have this problem
Hi. I have f5s and same dimmed 8 problem. Try every single soft and firmware combination. Got lead from another f5 and no change. Only thing I can see when start upgrade and plug box in nothing is happening, but when disconecting from power synchronizing stbs says Done.... I've done few f5 stucked, bricked and loading till 97 but cant fix this one...Any ideas
Any updates guys? After hours of trying still no luck
I got the Dull 8 problem. I found a guy advertising that he could fix this and most problems with Skybox. He would charge me ?12 if he could fix it or refund if he could not. So i posted it off to him and within a week got it back fully working again. Well worth the money as i was about to put it in the bin.
