EX5100 Flashing problem - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi all,
I have just bought an EX5100 which was preloaded with FTA software. I tried a scan anyway and found it only showed free to air channels. I downloaded some firmware to enable all channels and tried to flash it but it just said download fails. Anyway, i tried it on tv again just in case it worked and box wouldn't come out of stand by mode. I switched it off with power button on back and now the switch seems to be locked in the off position. It will not switch on.
Anyone any ideas? Are they now being sold with some kind of protection or has my box gone faulty just by coincidence?
