Vu+solo2

[pabloescaban]

Thanks hope to try it toda

I tried a 25amps psu but the same it loads and stops vu+solo2

They don't make 25A, you've tried a 2.5A which is weaker than the one you had originally

Well it's probably not a PSU problem so it must be a software or hardware problem.
You may have to follow earlier advice and flash it via Putty or openwebif if possible

You need the IP address of the box, usually begins with 192.168
You can find this in the menus if they're accessible.
Then you use that to login to the box

But if the box is not loading how can I see the ip address

If you can't use the IP address that rules out putty and openwebif, what make and size usb have you been using?
You may need to buy a SanDisk for a few quid and use that as a last hope.
It may not be recognising the usb you have

I used SanDisk and Kingston it recognised them and they load normal but then the box reboots and stops displaying vu+ solo2 on the screen and stops there

In your OP you said you updated it and it's been unusable since then.
How did you update it?
Did you flash it or update using the remote?
If you updated it after a long time of no updates, it will be unusable until you flash it

Asked them that question yesterday and no answer as should be on pc/ laptop downloads to check.

Solo 2 is a fairly solid box to use.

With a quick scan through this thread l fail to see if anyone has mentioned the 'Password' to the op. Unless l need to go back to specsavers

That's probably because the box does not fully boot. It appears to be in boot loop which suggest a PSU problem or a Tuner fault.

Or it could be a faulty HDD, disconnect that or and more likely not the correct image version for the solo2. Make sure its correct image and that it is unzipped correctly to usb.
