Second stage loader wasn't found. Don't panic - it's not a (real) problem.
You don't need to repair your Dreambox. It just means that the flashrom with
the graphical menu was erased. You can restore this with a tool like DreamUp
with serial access.

Some of the others might be able to help you with this problem
Just checked the DM500HD online and notice they have an inbuilt powersupply.
Might be worth while checking if all the caps are ok on that side of things. Look for bulging caps
Search40 (22-05-13)
lol, sure mate
caps = capacitor
these capacitors can fail over time and bulge (appear swollen) which is usually a telltale sign that they are faulty
bu they don't always necessarily look bulged if they fail, it's just an easy way to try and diagnose
see some examples here >
so take the cover off again and see if you can see any capacitors that look 'bloated' or 'bulged' or 'fatter than usual'
next thing you could try is to measure the voltages from the power supply circuit board to the main board to see if they are what they are supposed to be
quite often the voltages are printed next to the connector

Thanks Mate i did all that i read about them, and know now 100% what you talking about, I opened the box checked them all looked fine, I kind of pushed them to make sure all good, open the card cleaned that little, and BOOM, BOX COM BACK TO LIFE, do not know what it was maybe the card was loose, or one of them loose, Flashed Second Stage for DM500HD and Image after, all fine, let hope this will never happen again, Thanks Again for Helping, Kind Regards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Managed to turn the box on yesterday, Installed Second Stage, Image, checked with Hyper Terminal all fine, checked the power supply all good 12V, turned the box of in the evening, try to turn box on today, blinking and not turning on after little going of, i left for few minutes like that switched on of it come back, now it is working fine, THE PROBLEM NOW IS THE BOX DOES NOT TURN ON AS IT SHOULD BE, NEED TO LEAVE THE BOX FEW MINUTES, i asked many people about this they told me, THIS MAYBE BAD CAPACITORS PROBLEM THEY HAVE LOST POWER LET SAY FROM 1000...TO 800 ...., SO THEY NEED TIME TO GET ALL THE POWER, DOES ANY ONE HAS ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS?????, I JUST LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS THE REAL PROBLEM, THANKS FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
