ok mate i think you are going to have a problem with that box all you can do is take a chance and turn the box off at the front and dont remove the drive then turn it back on if it comes back on check the system info and see what API version is on it
if it has not flashed you will have to try again

hi, yes i definately have the comport on my laptop and a serial port, but my max 232 looks like this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAX232-RS232-Seria...%3A1%7C294%3A50
therefore i can just plug the max232 straight into the back of my com port without the need for cables, or do i have the wrong max232?

you still need the null modem cable to put on the laptop first then the max 232 goes on to the end of the cable and the end of the max goes on to the board of the box the max you have does look like the wrong one you have
this is what you need below to get the box back working

i brought it from tailor made circuits, and im guessing it must be the wrong one as it had got a female connection port on the max232 therefore cannot connect the null modem cable to it.
wrong one mate thats for modems look at the description you need the other one i put up for you on the other post

My first post on this very thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/753769#4565870 although its hard to read back that far :( However I do not remember giving you the wrong info.
The modem one will work if you change the pin out config in the molex plug. Easily done with a paper clip and the correct pin out info. The pin out info I have posted before so its about somewhere just takes a bit of reading ;)

when you say you havent been hearing good things do you mean customer service wise or clone box wise? where is the best place to buy from, i tried wizard but something put me off, this is the first ive used sat and cable. i saw that link for the max 232 yesterday and ordered one, if the box is a clone is it still fixable?

A bit of both regards the supplier. If its a clone send it back to them and ask for a replacement. There is no clonesafe firmware for the SV4 clones. 1.10 and the later Beta will brick a clone.
Wizard are OK at least you will get a genuine box.
