Have you followed the correct flashing procedures...
Flashed bootloader switch box off then flash image switch off wait a few seconds and switch back on?

If its the genuine article & its being setup for the first time, try flashing the lattest FPGA firmware first before putting a recent image file on.
I'd use the rear usb port with nothing else connected and see how that go's. -
dont think its genuine

The FPGA upgrade is only for receivers with plug and play tuners ( Uno, Ultimo ). This is a firmware update specifically for the chip that controls the Tuner cards and can only be performed from within a active image.
Note to the OP.
first tell us if it's a clone or original receiver so that we can better offer help. -
like i say it wont read usb, and ive tried differant usb sticks to rule out that aswell

you need to provide a little more info that that. for example what exactly is happening is there any thing on the VFD when you boot up the receiver ? or is it just dead ?.
The more information you can provide, the better the help you can be given.

on the actual box display it says starting.... thats it, it just stays there
could the hdd have affected it initially? if it was faulty -

was the HDD a 3.5" version as it's possible you may have overloaded the PSU by connecting a 3.5" HDD.
all i can really suggest is format a USB stick to FAT32 and try flashing the bootloader / image again ( obviously one with older drivers not a newer ViX or BH image with the new drivers ).
-
yes it was 3.5, but ive fitted loads with 3.5 hard drives without problems

as a general rule i'd advise against using 3.5" HDD's with the newer clones coming out as they tend to have substantially weaker PSU's, especially when also used in-conjunction with a motor, the draw on the PSU can be enough to kill it or pop a cap at the very least.

Are you putting the New Images (with Update Vu Drivers) on it?
This will cause it to hang in Startup!
Have a look here
http://linuxsat-support.com/vu…ew-vu-drivers-clones.htmlUse any image before Vix .155 and BH 1.7.5!

Have you tried pressing the up arrows or one of the coloured buttons, as the starting screen will remain there if you have no channel listed installed?
