Have a Skybox F5 which doesnt come on but keeps trying to load to 100 on the LED. I recently upgraded firmware a week ago and worried if it might be a clone and suffered from anti clone firmware. I bought it from Aliexpress and was sold as 100% genuine. Is there a way to recover the box. Thanks
 
you have to use null modem cable from pc to skybox to bring it back to life. i dont know of any f5 clones yet!
 
i updated my f5 with a new channel list not it wont turn on just shows loading message. the seller who sent me the file and instructions wont take the box back or fix it. how do i fix it

try a re-flash of factory un-patched firmware. regards mdt
 
If it is trying to load and getting to 100 it is not your firmware that is the problem it is a hardware problem, it can be one of two things if you are lucky it will be the first.

1.Try disconnecting your sat cable from your box if it now boots up then it might be a loose f connector make sure it has not worked loose and therefore not shorting out,it could also be a frayed sat cable or water getting in at the lnb end.

2.There is a fault with the powerboard a capacitor might have blown might need to replace it there are threads about it if you want to do a search I am no expert in this area.
 
For the firmware got to this place it is faster then yojii
