It is totally dead.. nothing on screen, when i use remotecontrol i can see it gets the signal but nothing happens.. I will have to reflash it later today.. after work. :) hopefully it will read the usb pen at that point.

Hmmm, Problem is back again, now it starts, but uses ages from power on after full shutdown until it actually starts.
Tips anyone ?

Hi there,seen this posted on another forum and may help you wolfed.
Exactly as posted by Alian

This is a common error in Vu+ Boxes because of H/W design that case of memory fault.
I test this box in several metods and verifiy of serial prot / usb port and mail bord.
Because of cases listed below this box hangs in Core and bootloader, so all of ports such as USB & Serial
not act and you can not to flash the box.Red light Led & STARTING in panel.
My conclusion for case of this stuck is :
1- havey and complex IMAGEs.
2- havey or not compatible PLUGINs and SKINs.
3- USE of two tuners Simultaneously.
4- OVERHEATING of the box.
5- power SHOCKs.
No jtag or change of parts is needed in many cases.
I have tyied this ways and could flash boexes after dead/stuck in starting.
1- Try only with a usb stick maximum 4gb formated in fat32 & copy bootlader upgrade cfe 3.0 to it.
2- Disconnect Hard drive(power & Sata) and all of other peripherals such as usb pen drive.
3- Disconnect power socket of main board.
4- Rest the box for at least 3 hours.
5- Connect power socket of main board & power cable of the box.
6- Connect USB drive in front panel & power on.
7- If do not read usb turn off & try ofter 15 sec.
8- Repeat step 7 until reading usb.
I hope Vu+ engineers can verify and find "weak point" of this box that make problem.
