Dm-500hd no ca found

**mtg** · 11-06-11, 07:47 PM

Hi All,
I tried to flash my DM-500HD to OpenPLI and have managed to brick it, there seems to be heaps of help for the 800 on this issue, but none on the 500HD. DreamUp doesn't find the box when I turn it on and when I use PuTTY while turning it on I get the following:

There is heaps suggesting a null modem serial cable, however the DM-500HD has no serial port, only USB, modem and ethernet (which I could use for this purpose)

The fan doesn't spin, there is no display output and I just get the green light on the front.

Does anyone have anything that they can suggest to help me, as I really would like to get the box working.

Thanks

no CA found is a classic error for latest DM drivers on a clone box
My guess is you need to use USB and an image to suit your probably clone box

however how am I able to flash it if DreamUp can't find the box (I hit connect, turn on the box and then it never "finds" and then allows me to flash the box)
