First apologies to mods if I broke the rules by trying to direct someone to this guide but I did not see a similar guide here, this was posted by Darvash on another forum so the credit goes to him.:Clap: I have slightly modified it.

A how to guide on how to fix a corrupt firmware image in the OpenBox S9/S10 and Skybox S)/S10 Even if it seems bricked.
This guide is taken from another forum so big thanks to auther.
Box does not respond or displays On?
If your box does not respond, or no displays light there is a good chance the current firmware on the box is somehow corrupt.
You will need to use a recovery tool, connect a Serial RS232 Null Modem Cable to the box and follow the instructions.
Hopefully it will bring your box back to life.
