VU+ Solo, black screen after flash.

I got two VU+ Solo boxes from a mate, he asked me to help him set them up. One is used, and one is fresh out of the tin.

Problem I am having is; after flashing the system with a USB I just get a black screen. My TV is telling me that it's getting a signal but there is no image at all.

I've tried openPLI and vix. Both the newest and older versions of the before mentioned images. Using the standard procedure of turning
the system off, plugging in the USB(with the right folder structure and files). Then I turn the system back on and wait for the LED to flash
green. Remove the USB stick and restart the system.

What I find frustrating to say the least is that the same thing happens with both boxes.

Are they both originals buddy? if they are clones you will see a sticker on the rear or under side stating what version they are...

I read yesterday about clones with stickers stating the version. I had a look and could not find any. I'll have another look when I get home from work but I'm pretty sure there were none.

Are there any other tell tale signs of a clone Vu+ Solo box?
