Very strange that these boxes are bricking not at the time of flashing but at a later time. Any ideas what's the story there?
Ordered 3 SV4s from S@tandC@ble last week as it was the cheapest I found.
Now I know why!
I tried cancelling the order but haven't had a word now in a week.

Yes, it does.
Any ideas why? Does it depend on the amount of bootups since the flash?
How does a bit of code corrupt the bootloader over time?

Contact them and they shal replace, I've never heard of them selling clones before
The Digivox xl usb is a safer bet with the amount of SV4 clones around
PLEASE DONT PM ME FOR KEYS!
