Did you try to re-install openPLi 4?

No any messages on the display "Starting...", "Reading USB..." Just red light.COM port is also dead.

I have read complaints about the openpli-6.0 problems on VU+ solo and duo.
Image installation breaks the boot partition.
This problem is not on all receivers, but on individual ones.

 

I can make a mistake, but I have read that solo and duo are two versions.
The first version memory size is smaller. I remember that there was already a problem with one of the plugins.
Openpli-6.0 image is biger than openpli-4.0, and maybe its size exceeds the available memory size on the first version recievers.

 

Maybe it's time to stop solo and duo support or post a warning about it?

I am agree. I have first version of Duo.

Fow now the only possible solution to bring back the box alive is some kind of JTAG via BBS.

Also warning should be posted.

I've seen boxes overhere which were 'repaired' more than two times, and even then I had to replace capacitor for a new one.

The C807 capacitor was replaced 6 hours ago. Made in Japan.

 

 

 

 

That it doesn't fit anymore...

Ok. So why there is possibiltty to download 6.0 RC for Duo?

What can I do to bring alive the box?

 

Flash it back with an OpenPLi4 image.

The bootloader is not a part of the image, so it can´t be corrupted by flashing an OpenPLi6 image.

 

I have no "Starting..." message and of course "Reading USB...". one. Blank display.

Just red light.

 

FYI, I've bought the box in the 2010.

 

Just a 'red light' sounds like the well known 'capacitor 807' issue.....

 

Already replaced twice

Maybe not genuine box? As far as I heard there are a couple of VU clones available...

In the April of 2010 no any clones were known. DUO was almost just released.
