The only thing you can do is take the top off and check for a bad connection but I doubt that is the problem, if you were watching and not playing when it died I suspect the box has failed in some way.

I assume the TV is OK ?

please dont say that mate

i wont be taking the top off as its still in waranty but i dont really wanna mess about sending it for repair

i would be happier if it was a simple issue

[silverfox0786]

Dunno what the issue was but i had a image backup of sif team so i thought i'd try that while i was downloading the official image 5.5 and it worked the box came back alive and working well

crises averted


was in a blind panic lol

"do it later put the TV on my program is about to start"

That's too true ... just what my missus would say!!!

USB Flash not working on VU+ Solo
Hi

I have vix1.1 on solo and had some problems with it. Tried to flash with the same image again via usb and did not work, keep starting instead of flashing.

Then i reset the settings to factory it worked and updated through software manager, but after restarting it keep saying VU SOLO starting and not going anywhere from that screen.

What do i need to do? please help

Thanks

Re-format the USB stick you are using to FAT32 and make sure the file structure of the flash files is correct on your USB stick. Also try a different USB stick/port.

Thanks, appriciate it.

i will try later, can i use 8gb memory stick and windows 7 or i have to use 128mb and win xp.

If can do it do i need a serial cable or null modem cable to flash it.

[silverfox0786]

serial does not work with solo and reported to vuplus

win 7 and 8 gb is fine

[jas]

Thanks,

If cant do with usb any other way?

Sorry for being p

[silverfox0786]

with the solo not yet mate sorry need to wait for a new vuutility from vuplus first

[jas]

Thanks for the help,

Just to let everyone know that i took the solo to the person who i bought it from, i notices he had a file called autorun on the usb along with other three files. He managed to flash and reinstal everything again.

Thanks
