    Squash balls, cut in half, make good supports, especially if you're trying to cut out any vibration noises.

    Openwebif is a plugin that runs within enigma2. If Enigma2 crashes, it won't work. You are better off communicating directly with the the linux OS instead going through OWIF or through enigma2, it is also just an application. You can try this scenario by stopping enigma2 with "init 4" command and then see whether OWIF works.

    You can enable the telnet client in windows or use putty. Mac and Linux have terminal. Even if box has stalled, you can issue a reboot command. Link to guide in my signature if you need it.

    The question is if the box connects via telnet (putty) when it crashes. Thanks for the openwebif explanation if the box stalls.

    I was thinking using 4 toothpicks on the four corners of the box using bit of play doh.

    Generally speaking Enigma2 crashes, loops or hangs. The Linux OS is 99.999% of the time still running.

    Hello sir, I tried using the reboot command but no joy. I have to manually turn off from the back.

    No problem Sir. Have a look for threads by Trial, there is a more robust command.
