Recovery from Firmware Corruption
Problem:
HD MediaBox becomes unresponsive and doesn’t start.
POWER LED turns to green and
LED lights blue, but the blue
LED remains constantly lit and File Browser doesn’t display.
Explanation:
This can occur if a firmware upgrade was interrupted or other firmware corruption has occurred.
Solution:
The following steps allow you to reset HD MediaBox without using the on screen menus.
Transfer a known working version of the firmware onto the internal HDD using the instructions in
section
9.2
or to an external USB device. Ensure that only one version of the firmware exists on any connected drives.
Remove the power connector from HD MediaBox, wait 5 seconds and re-insert the power connector.
Make sure HD MediaBox is in standby mode (
POWER LED is red) and that HD MediaBox is no longer
connected to a PC via USB.
Point the Remote Control directly at the HD MediaBox IR receiver and press the
key.
Press and hold the
key until the
POWER LED turns green.
HD MediaBox will now begin the firmware upgrade process.
The blue
LED will flash in the following pattern to show progress.
1 long 1 short = 0-19%
1 long 2 short = 20-39%
1 long 3 short = 40-59%
1 long 4 short = 60-79%
1 long 5 short = 80-100%
After completion, HD MediaBox will shutdown and can be started in the usual way.
