My Solo2 is not booting. When I turn on the box it does not boot and remain in standby mode. I tried to flash but no response. Box does not come out of standby mode. Any solution or motherboard/processor gone.
 
Need some more information. so here are some questions.

1. If you turn it off with the power button on the back or pull out the power cord, when turning on power is it dead no flashing lights or Static from the standby button in front?

2. Is there any info in the front display

3. have you pulled out all external/Internal devices like, HDD, USB Memory Stick and WIFI adapters and try to boot, to check if one of those is broken

4. Change HDMI Cabel in case its booting into standby because of broken HDMI Cabel

Thanks for your response.
1. I have tried from on/off button. The standby is static no flashing.
2.No info on display.
3. Yes all internal, external and WIFI device removed. Nothing changed.
4. Without HDMI cable also not booting.
 
So the front standby light is on with a purple glow? does it responce with a brighter glow when you push it?
 
Then its alive at least :)

Did this just happend or have you installed any new plugin/skins
Do you now how to connect with putty to your Solo2

It just happened. Turned off last night. When turned on in morning it was in this state.
Don't understand putty? Never done before. I use DCC and Dreamboxedit. Other than that no software or hardware ever used
 
But with DCC you can make a Telnet connection to the Solo2

Connect with telnet and login with username root

Then type first this command. init 4 and press enter on your PC keyboard.
After type this command. ENIGMA_DEBUG_LVL=4 enigma2 and press eneter on your PC keyboard.

if debug runs for a moment and then stop. scroll up to the row that starts with
Traceback (most recent call last):

Copy the text from this row down to </enigma2crashlog> and post here so we can see whats going on.

If you have a HDD in your Solo2 you can find the crashlog file in the root of your HDD also with ftp connection

Thanks for your response. I was away and couldn't check. I worked today but the box doesn't have a IP. kindly advise . My friend here is saying that its plash is gone and we have to reprogram it through some loader.

hi - have you solve a problem? i have the same - only blue light on the front panel / can’t connect via ethernet
 
Did some research about this issue and its seems like its related to clones only.
We dont support or give any support to clones.

An electronic technician: 99% it's a HW problem. Otherwise, if you are a good DIY guy, you might chance its capacitors.
 
This error is caused when a Clone gets flashed with a non clonesafe image ;)

Just bingbing this issue and the first 200 answers are, "Caused by Vu+ adding clone crash to lates image"
