New box after vu logo Black Screen?

[rafter_01]

Hi,

A bit confused here, bought a new box from world of satellite and switched it on. Shows me the yellow vu solo logo then does nothing just shows me a black screen. Assuming that the image may have issues so I have downloaded a new image loaded the box up and the same issue. What could be wrong?

I can press the remote and nothing happens on the TV but the box flashes.

Your replies will be appreciated!

Did you request an image to be flashed when you bought the box?

Check that you have the correct image you are flashing now. It should take no more than a couple of minutes to flash.

Could it still be the USB stick even though the lights flash on the box correctly when flashing?

Yes. What size Usb are you using. If you can use a small GB decent make the better (i.e. sandisk 4 or 8 gb)

When the flashing procedure has completed on the Solo SE you then power off n power back on yeah? Also just double check your HDMI lead, and make sure everything is powered off when you do this.

When the flashing procedure has completed, i power off the box, take out the stick and power on the box.

If the box was preflashed by WoS it should boot into the First-Install-Wizard.

If you are getting the same symptoms after flashing it sounds like you haven't flashed at all.

Recheck all your steps again.
Use a 4 GB max, FAT32 formatted stick.
Make sure the zip file corresponds with your box.
Place the contents of the zip file in the root of the USB stick.

I'm going to try a few different memory sticks. When I turn off the box after the flash has completed, is it normal to remove the USB stick before powering the box on?

Leaving the stick in means it will reflash each time you power it up.

tried two more different USB sticks. After the flashing light (not dimming) i wait for 5 mins and turn off the box.

Same issue, what is wrong? Really annoying now.
