Kein System, out of nowhere?

[brownvim]

my dbox2 displays "kein system" on the LCD, i just woke up this morning and saw it like that. i didnt mess about with flashing a new image or anything, just out of blue its happend... Can someone please help?

iv read through the forum about reflashing with "Image-Flashing-Assistant" but cant seem to get it to work. the LCD dont change to "flashing" even after me trying to reboot it several times holding "up" and the "power" button and even taking out the plug. it just goes straight to "kein system".

Was thinking about purchasing a null modem cable later on today to see what is actually going on when the box is connected to my PC? i will post the results here if they are of any help solving this?

Thanks ALot if anyone can help, Vim...

IFA should work if you connect null modem cable and crossover ...the trick is
once you hit start and it says " your computer will be prepared for the flash process etc" click ok then press the three buttons on the box.
just keep resseting by pressing the three buttons till IFA catches it

thanks for your reply, i will go out and buy a cable now, test it out... i press all 3 buttons or is it just the UP and POWER buttons?
