My Amiko Mini Combo won't boot. When powered up, it's display alternates slowly between "ON" and "on". One green LED stays lit constantly. There is no output to the HDMI output nor the AV output. This possibly was caused by the unsafe removal of a USB stick. How do I proceed, now that I have no display?

You could try a reflash you will need to connect it to your serial port
-
Many thanks for your suggestion. Could you tell me where this reflash process is explained or maybe you would have a link?
-
Here's the loader program and FW
Just select the FW file and connect the RS232 to the Amiko, turn off and back on.
The box should connct and reflash for you -
Perfect! Many thanks for your help and knowledge Hopper.

Hi
This is the correct EMU for the mini combo -
hmm, ok guys, mine is bricked as well, only showing the boot screen and then asking for orginal software, I have downloaded the boot loader and software, however i do not have a serial port on my pc, i am useing a usb adapter, with the supplied rs232 lead, however on the toolbox software i click through to load the f/w and the screen displays "test serial port status" and never moves further on than that, any ideaS? Plus what should be the loaders settings upgrade or dump flash? cheers

I would be very interested in a response to shakeapaw. I am also in the same boat with my combo. seemingly new models of the box are not taking unofficial software.
I have flashed plenty of these via usb and this is the first one stuck like this on boot screen.
It says the software does not match the hardware, please revert to original SW . ive been told its something to do with the chip ???? no idea personally -
Go back a few threads and you will find where I have put up the loader and FW needed to fix this problem
Most of the FW's use the old bootloader 1.03 and these boxes now need 1.04You will need to serial into your box to fix this, very easy to do

Thanks for that freck,
loader and software downloaded easily. Love the music !!
However when I try to upgrade it says :
test serial port status : Finished
Collect STB Information
Transfer data failed
Click " Back " to try again
Click cancel to exitI reckon ive fried something in the box???
Box goes to HDTV boot logo and then says-
SW is not designed for this HW, please change back to official SW ! --------0e080a00001ff1

you'd imagine if they ask you to revert to original software that it can be done !
Amiko mini combo HD latest version -
Try it again with the box powered off and when it goes to test the serial port then power it up.
Once it sees the port then you can begin the flashing.....try it a few times.It'll deffo work out. -
