    Default dreamlink t5 stuck on boot

    I have a Dreamlink T5 stuck on boot. It flashes Hi then stays on boot. I tried the Dreamlink bootloop upgrade file no luck. Tried loading file 106 with null cable it loads but it does the same thing flash Hi then it gets stuck on boot.

    Any other ideas??

    Thanks

    try taking the HD module out and see if it will boot properly without it. If it does then treat it like a brand new rec.
    also if you have a spare power adapter, (plugs in wall) try it ?

    If it boots up fine without the module, make sure you sit the module correctly. Bootloop happens when you sit the module the wrong way.

    Try a different Power Supply/Adapter, if it was the original that came with the T5 they are Prone to Fail
    One of the Known problems with the DL's

    OK, Take the HD Module out, disconnect ALL CABLES, and Reload/Flash with Boot Loop file using null cable & loader program
    You "MAY" need to do it more than once, also reading from other forums some have had success pulling the power as the
    T5 BOOTS up, to access the menu etc. If you get T5 to function (no boot-loop) I would load factory file followed by latest bin
    doing a Hard shut down (back switch) between each load.

    I still think it's the power supply, do you have another power supply that's 12volt 3.5-5 amps rated to try
    loading a factory file to the Box ? I would keep trying to make it Go, You may get Lucky & revive it
    use a Null modem cable & Loader software for it.
