Firmware for bricked skybox f5s

[soco]

Hi, I have an old box stuck on load. I've read on here that the box can be unlocked by using an rs232 cable and loading new firmware.

I was wondering whether it was worth buying the cable, as all the links in the old threads seem dead or I cant find the firmware to download


Thanks

Thought so, probably pick them up for a tenner on ebay anyway. Cheers

Tried a rs232 cable on an Amiko mini combo HD box a few years ago, complete waste of time and money. Ended up buying new box, worth it to lower my stress levels
