Does it Boot Up or anything, or just Dead period ?
It should survive that.More detail, like status of power lights,ect.Quote:

Could power off by the back switch. Then while holding down the OK or menu button on the front of the stb power back on via the back switch. If you see load usb show on the display you maybe able to force load a file. May work may not your call.
didn't work, but thanks. seems dead. i picked up another one, so this one should be good for some partsQuote:

i think you are right. the vacuum head is plastic, so the charge must of come from particules in the air. i would not have thought they could have created enough charge to kill the main board. lesson learnedQuote:
