NBOX Sx5800sx blank lcd after Graterlia crach ran from usb

  • Hey guys,


    Similar problem to this post http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=36151 have an nbox 5800sx & somehow managed to overwrite uboot with the latest Gratalia OS ran from a usb(didn`t think it was possible like that) & am in need of some advice.


    It ran for over a day with no problems,my jumpy framerate on added iptv channels was solved(had problems with a few channels)Think the upgarded ffmpeg/gstreamer fixed it for me.


    Then it crashed & got stuck on an iptv channel,with the screen blank & spinner still on screen..Waited over 15 mins & had to pull the plug.


    When I turned it back on therer was nothing displayed on the lcd of the nbox,the optical is still lit & usb remains functional(lit)..SO I`m presuming graterlias somehow overwrite uboot.


    Looking online & all useful resources here I was able to find a English guide to modification & tips how to fix..


    I opened up my nbox expecting to see a wire soldered already to a20 as was hoping disconnect & touch a19 whilst having multibootv2 in the usb would sort it for me..One problem no wire so do I have to soldler one myself?


    Do I remove it after or leave attached to a20 & debug pin 3.3v?I`m more than a little confused by it all & any help is greatly appreciated :)

    Edit to above - Flipped the mobo & can see the soldered wire..Too late to get the soldering iron out now but hopeful I`m now on the right path.


    This nbox has been a steep learning curve from start to let`s hope not but finish,lol..Had some great fun & learnt a lot too..so not all bad. :)
