I haven't had that problem but by your description it sounds like the box is in a boot loop. Disconnect the coax and see if that cures it. If it does then there is a short in coax. You could also unplug the receiver for 5 minutes and try again. Also make sure you have installed the correct file for your box. hope this helps.

Friend do try this...
How to FIX your Units if no video or stuck on boot or continuous rebooting
Someone make this stick please!
C/P
Process to restore your unit - fix issues of no video or continuous reboots or stuck on boot etc! If you have no video coming due to PAL issues there is an easy fix!
Download any working file like 2.4, 2.3, 2.2 etc (22.33 MB)
extract the zip file and rename the udf file to
pinwheelhdfactory_fw.udf
(note: if you are displaying file extension in Windows, the file will be pinwheelhdfactory_fw.udf and if you are not displaying file extensions in Windows then file will be pinwheelhdfactory_fw)
Take 1 blank USB drive - this drive should have nothing on it, except only one file
Put the file on the root folder of the USB drive
so the USB drive will only have pinwheelhdfactory_fw.udf file
Now unplug the unit from power
Insert the USB drive into any USB port
Hold the Front Power Down and keep holding it
Plug in power to your unit
You will see UPGRD on the front display, release the front power button
This will start the process of restoring the unit
As usual will take long to erase and write
After completing it will display FINSH on the front display
Remove USB Stick and reboot the unit and it should boot into the file without any issues

Cool, thanks for reporting that... I'm sure it will help others... Just make sure The current rating on the new adapter ( If it's not the same) is not too high or it may fry it............
