Hi
Everybody! Ive been reading up on all sorts of fixes on this site - and it seems that everything try doesnt get me anywhere!

So far i have flashed the image 2.0 using the toolbar that has been suggested with a null modem cable, although there are 2 other fixes on there that are rar files which i cannot use to flash onto my box.

I have taken someones advice and downloaded FileZilla and used an ethernet cable to connect it - but it says critical error and will not connect. I am using my pc in work to try and sort this out which is on a server and uses an automatic ip address - is this maybe the reason why is isnt working?

I have tried pressing the blue button on sky sports and still nothing - i have also tried using tuxbox and starting evo cam 2.12 but nothing - am i missing something? Im at the end of my rope!

Also when i go into keys by doing it manually there are no keys there

Also i live in wales, so does anybody know if there is somewhere i can send my box off to pay for someone to do it for me?

Thanks you everyone for all your advice, im sorry to be a pain! x

The image i have supplied on here works fine. Everythings in it you need.

The images on the toolbar have to be installed then you have to download the nagra files and ftp them to the box using flash wizard.

Aaw i hope your right - i was about to launch this box across the room ive been so frustrated with it lol!

Ive already got DW Dream2.1 uploaded on there - does that matter?

I live in Wales, it will still apply to me will it? It hasnt asked me for my home town before now, i assume thats what this image is for is it?

Thanks a million Chris - il let you know how i get on tonight when i get home! x

What do u mean turn it on once its finished scanning my area, does it have to be plugged into both the cable and the pc while im uploading the image? The only problem i have with thast is that i only have a pc at work. :S

Do u mean run a transponder scan wen u say scan my area? Sorry to sound like an idiot!!

this image is still going down it autorolls for a couple of days and then needs a key to be installed, the bottom line is there is still no image file available to combat the constant key changes on the dm500c, i recently flashed a starview 1 box with the latest image and that works fine it updates itself with no problems so why is the dreambox 500c being affected worse than the rest?

i used dreamup and my null modem cable as i have been doing for the last two years, the image goes on fine and autorolls for a couple of days and then needs a key, the longest time this image went on for was two weeks and then the channels went down amd needed a key.
the box is fine and the image goes on correctly, i may be a newbie to this forum but i am experienced with these boxes. and also is it true that digital worldz have stopped supporting the dreambox now? i see there is a breakaway group called digital kaos now making images for the dm 500 so this image may well be worth a look.

Guys, I need some advice please, my dreambox 500c has stopped working like a few of my other electrical goods since we had a power surge a couple of weeks ago, I was wondering whether it can be repaired or is it useless now? Any advice would be highly appreciated.
