Openbox S11 dead after channel list update

Hi everyone;

There seems to be a few topics already with similar symptoms to my problem that I have, but went ahead with my own topic anyway (sorry!).

I updated the channel list earlier on an S11 and after I used the switch on the box of the box to reboot it, the box wouldn't boot back up. Nothing appears on the screen, and the LED display just stays blank.

When I do switch the box on there's a small flicker on the screen, like the TV recognises that there's something there trying to get power, but nothing else happens.

Also when the box is left switched on it does still feel warm on the top, as though it is working.

I've seen some posts saying to use a null modem cable to try and fix the box, but neither of the PCs I have at home have an input for this cable to go into.. would a usb on one end of the cable (going into PC) work?

Also if anyone else has any other tips, or has had this problem before.. any info would be appreciated.

Cheers.

I'll have to ask around people I know then to see if they have such capabilities!

Not looking good though. :\ Is there anything else I could try? The box is left plugged in, just hoping it comes back to life.

I had to replace a box last week with a similar problem, needing to pay for another new box is what's prompted me to look into how to fix them. :(

Thanks for the reply though, mate.
