Dreambox DM500HD

Hello
I am unable to flash the dreambox DM500HD
The box had openPli and during a SW update I switched the box off by mistake, that seem to have packe it up
I tried flashing the box with both original dreambox and with openpli firmwares but none worked
I used dreamp, it does connect to the box but when I try to flash nothing happens
Aldo tried to flash useing the dreambox interface with the box connected to the tv, pressing power button in the front, then switch box on and nothing happens
if I only press the power on the dreambox screen appears but nothing else
is the box dead or can it be recovered somehow?
Thank you!

Flashing a DM500HD either version WILL require the VCP driver from Dream Multimedia. Install these first on your PC. When done, select a virtual COM port to use. Set the baudrate to 115200,n8,1 and select Hardware Flowcontrol.
Turn OFF the DM500HD completely, connect the mini-USB cable to your DM500HD and the PC. Next start DreamUp and select the proper COM port you have just defined. Press 'Connect'. When DreamUp is done with it's prerequisites it asks you to turn on the box. Now turn on your box. DreamUp should connect an report the box. The flash button now becomes active.
