Updated the latest firmware about 2 hours ago and now my box will not turn on at all. Anyone have any suggestions?

[Ryu]

do you see red or blue light? do you have power coming into the box?

try to remove hdmi cable and put back in again. try different hdmi cable or port if possible. 

if nothing then last thing I would say try pin reset.

[Ross]

Red light on continually.  Yes power to box.  Unplugged power for a couple of minutes but haven't tried the HDMI cord. Will check it.

[Ross]

What is a pin test??

Did you have the Power button on the remote setup to control your TVs power? 

[Ross]

HDMI cord was the problem . Unplugged it for 30 seconds and when I plugged it back in it worked. Thanks RYU !

X5 was mentioned in E5 section on one of the posts. So I hid them as it was in the wrong section. 

 

[Emporium]

Thnx..  Firmware took no problem.  

However after the reboot, the BT400 would not auto reconnect.   Went in, un-paired it, re-paired it, and it works fine now.

I tried to install the update yesterday but it hung up indicating “Finishing system update…”. I restarted the box with no issues. Today I tried again to install the update and it’s hung up at the same spot after waiting over 30mins.

Were finding that some users using a VPN is causing this issue. 

[BeachBum]

Ok, I’ll try w/o the vpn. Thx

[BeachBum]

Well, I disconnected the vpn and tried again. It says “Preparing….” for about 30 secs, then says “Finishing…” for 20+ mins still. I’ve removed power for 30 secs and tried again with same result.

[Ryu]

are you connected wireless or wired?

if wired then remove ethernet cable and try wireless or if hardwire then reboot your modem and router then try again.

if wireless then try to forget your network first, reboot your modem and router then connect again and try again.

[BeachBum]

Disconnected Ethernet, removed power for 30 secs, rebooted. Connected to WiFi, no vpn, started update d/l again. Hangs up saying “Preparing…” for 20+ mins

[BeachBum]

Ok, so the only thing that changed was the “Preparing…” changed to “Finishing…” after about 10 mins. Still hangs on that. Speed check shows 50+ mbps

[Ryu]

did you reboot modem/router?

did you see any option reboot?

try to clear cache and try again

Edited April 5, 2023 by Ryu

[BeachBum]

I have cycled power on all items, no change. By clearing cache, you of course mean disconnect/reconnect power. Yep, like 5x.

home page/settings/apps/buzz tv 5/clear cache

[BeachBum]

That accomplished nothing. I cleared the cache, power cycled and get the same result. Fwiw, the last update couldn’t be done ota either.
