if u could upload the image it would be very helpfull as its the first time i heard of it
 
use pli jade max var for the 500 on it
and when it it says do u wish to flash erase
in dreamup say no and it should be fine.
 
When you connect to Dreamup, try clicking flash erase first.

I know it erases the flash half way through (after it's uploaded image) but i don't think it does a thorough job as i've still found altered settings from the previous flash.
 
I am sure some of the clone boxes do not like the latest Pli unstable image. Here is the erase image should you still require it.
 
no still same problem

so any 1 know a better supplier for these dm500s who sells good quality stuff???
 
Hi Mate
this might help, i had same problem green light on but box is not responding to remote control actions, can re flash etc but does not make difference. After much fault finding i found out that the power supply was faulty and was sending less power to ther box. so i ordered a new one now works fine. try it

Yes definately sounds like it, I had six Dm500s from china, now four of them have dead power supplies, get a new power supply from a UK supplier and all will be OK.

shit yeah thinking about the EXACT same thing happened when my clone psu went pop too. Is the led on the front of dm box as bright as it should be? If I remember rightly it was dimmer when mine went tits up.
 
im using a 2amp psu
the light is bright as it should be

maybe the caps inside the box are swollen??

but dont want to open it just incase ukdreamshop dont like it
 
do you have a volt meter? What is the voltage coming from the psu?
