u will have to use universal dreamup and a serial null modem cable m8.

make sure it's a null modem and not a straight through serial cable

well it must be a wrong lead m8 or using the wrong com port. using a serial cable on a dbox aswell as a ethernet lead will still work as it's only used to show the writing in the com window,but to flash just with using a lead it has to be a null modem.

so try all com ports if still nothing go to a shop and buy a serial null modem so u definately know it's a real cable

You will have to use universal dreamup and a serial null modem cable and flash a new image. The image you have has been damaged.

make sure it's a null modem and not a straight through serial cable

Hi
My box DM 500c
Using usb to RS 232.
& ethernet lead.
Vista on a laptop.
Flashed one image and backup with out any problems so the set up is ok.

I have done a search on this subject and found this tread,
I have the same problem during the process of reflashing i had a power cut all i get now is the green power on light and blue screen on tv.
I have read and found universal dreamup the problem is its looking for com ports i'm using usb is there anyway around this.

Any help would be appreciated.

You might need to configure the usb>serial adapter so that it's com1.

Dreamup is probably looking for com1 and the adapter is setup on com4 or something like that.

Never used one so can't really help you further. :(

Hi

sorted out the usb to virtual com port,but the DM wont connect just stays in standby green light and has no responce to the remote at all.
is there anyway to reflash this unit.
