Red light mini vu duo

scomp1

I recently bought a mini duo and tried to flash an openvix image.
It booted up and then stalled. I tried to restart the box but now it's just stuck on a red light and I can't do anything with it. Is there anyway I can fix this, it's completely wrecking my head and I don't want to buy a new freeview box.

It sounds like you have bricked your box sorry man, Vu+ have released time bombs in there drivers and all original images have these in them once there VU+ solo , solo2se ,vu duo , vu duo 2 , etc if it,s a clone of vu+ you should have used clonesafe images for this box , contact the person you got your box off they should be able to get a new flash chip this has to be replaced as the time bomb has wiped this it should cost no more then 10 to 20 euro and make sure it,s programmed aswell this is very inportant then a local tv repair or computer repair shop can replace this for for you or if your able to do this yourself and if your dublin based i can pm you a shop in dublin that will replace the flash chip for 30 euro tryed and test on 3 solo 2 boxes a few months ago but you need to get the new flash chip , regards bored_stupid

Thanks for the reply
Yeah I'm based in dublin and if you could pm the repair shop that would be brilliant, would they be able to supply the flash chips or do I have to get it myself
