    Nothing happening - Episode 2

    No, mine used a micro. Anyway, I was asked to send the whole shebang back, but - crazy as it sounds - it's cheaper to buy a new one! Now then, if the new box doesn't work immediately, I'm not going to mess around with matchsticks and SD cards - I'll be sending it back for a full refund. Hey...

    Nothing happening - Episode 2

    Hi again. I emailed support, as suggested. The reply asked me to do a factory reset. That didn't work. They then sent me instructions on how to reflash. Had to buy an SD card which I think was more expensive than the box. Anyway, I followed the instructions and now my SD card is rattling...

    Nothing happening - Episode 2

    Well, it's been a while since my last message. I thought I would wait until I could report that all was well and everything worked. Sadly, it STILL doesn't work. Am I the only person in the world that has this problem or will I just throw it in the bin? I'm reluctant to buy another one as...

    Nothing happening - Episode 3 Well, I came back from holiday, decided to switch on the box and was greeted by the friendly blue light. Then, nothing. Again. After 45 minutes of fiddling around with disconnecting, reconnecting, powering off and on in numerous combinations - nothing. When I...

    Nothing happening - Episode 2

    Thanks for your advice, I am really grateful. I had not realised that I have to be within 1 metre for the remote to work, and I really don't mean to be unkind but it might be worth including this in the instructions. I am crouched over the TV with my remote and enjoying exploring the apps -...

    Nothing happening

    Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. Yes, everything was connected securely etc. I had plugged the box into a multi point adaptor - nothing happening. I replugged it into an individual socket and it connected.

    Nothing happening - Episode 2

    I was baffled when I received an email from droidbox inviting me to buy a new iMX6 box at a reduced price. Really strange, when I had already emailed support saying the original one was not working the way I expected. Anyway, after 4 days of trying, (does it really take this long?) a screen...

    Nothing happening

    Plugged everything in, switched on - nothing happens. Just a blank screen. Any ideas?
