hi all i have killed my cube as i had a power cut as it was flashing. now i am told its going to cost me £100 to fix it. as there is no public jtag.

i have tryed to use the rs232 also to flash it and the usb method also wont go.

all the screen does is says booting.

none of the buttons on the front work so i am unable to put it into usb or rs232 mode ect

does any one have any ideas on fixing this box please?

Did you update uboot ?
Have you tried the rs232 interface with different baud rate ?
Looks not so good.....
If you have warranty, try to replace if not last solution,
solder out flash chip, programm it with dump from another working box and solder it back..it's not so easy.

I had updated the flash img and then I wanted to update uboot when the power went.

Did you tried serial upgrade from uboot after that?
Press and hold standby button and hold -> button.

yeah i tried that as well. i know its uboot thats Bugg~~d :mecry: i will have another go with the rs232 and uboot.

but the box will not respond to any button presses and just my luck the box is 14 months old the dealer pulsat is the one who want to charge £100 and he says that it needs to be sent back to korea.
