    Gigablue HD Quad won't start

    When I power up the box only the red LED illuminates.

    It stays and hangs there without booting.

    I really need help to troubleshoot the cause.

    The box just arrived this morning.

    Here is the chronology of events:

    1. Hook up power cable, CAT5 cable, RG6 connector.
    2. Power up the box
    3. Booting seems to look normal.
    4. Configure the language, timezone and network. DHCP turned to off as I am using fix IP which is 192.168.1.5
    5. Reboot the box.
    6. Stuck here after reboot with the blue LED illuminates.
    7. After a long wait, I powered off the box and powered up again.
    8. From here it stuck with the red LED illuminates.

    Tuners not yet configured.

    Disconnect your Ethernet and try again.

    By the way I have edited the chronology of events. I missed out something.

    updates:

    I just let the box power up with red LED. After about 5 minutes the "openmips boot image" appears with the blues LED illuminates.

    Now am waiting for the box to boot.

    I wonder why does it take so long to boot?

    Will update again later.

    I think you may need to re-flash the unit.

    I could not even flash the unit as it stuck.

    Red LED on, nothing appears on the LCD screen and on the tv.

    I know it's not a Gigablue but have a read of this

    http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...ight=red+light

    I'm guessing the method would be the same (but don't use VU files )


    If I were you I would return it (or contact Gigablue themselves)

    I'm powering down the box now. Let it sleep for a few minutes.

    Will try to power up again with only power cable & HDMI cable hooked up. Let's see what is going to happen
