    Ultimo 4K boot problem

    I've been away from the site for several years, but before asking for help, I did make a contribution.

    Since setting it up with BH 3.05, my Ultimo 4K has worked well. Every so often it has crashed with the green screen - but a quick power-cycle and all was well again. However, yesterday after it crashed, when I then power off and on, all that happens is that the white light on the front flickers constantly - and that's it.
    It's been suggested that I need to reflash the image. Would I just get the latest BH (and where best to find it?) and use that, or do I have to first flash the official VU image. And am I right in thinking I have to then set the box up from scratch? Sorry if this sounds a silly question, but it has been several years since I've done anything to this receiver.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Sounds more like the on/off switch is faulty (mine is the same).

    Try turning it off again, then very firming switching it back on (might need to do it a few times, but should work in the end).

    Bingo! Indeed, you are spot on and my on/off switch is very dodgy. A few firm goes and my box is up and running again. Many thanks!

    (Have you ever tried to source a replacement switch?)

    I couldn't find anything that would be a direct replacement.

    I now never touch the switch, just pull the lead out and push it back in, instead. It has been ok for 3+ years now doing this.
