Hello everyone

I need urgent help here. A friend of mine recently bought a Eurovox Max V 2008 box of fleabay and it literally will not power on! It just seems dead. No power to it whatsoever!

We have checked the inside of the box, it is not a clone, and there does not appear to be any damage ie. blown capacitator, loose components etc.

There is also no blown fuse in the plug or faulty lead etc and the box has also been tested in my own house using my eurovox power lead and on different powerpoints in both his and my house.

I have read on a few threads within the forum about JTagging the box but I am unsure as to how this works and so I am looking some help on it.

If the box is completely dead can this bring it back to life? Does this add the software back on the machine and if so how does this work if there is no power going to the machine?

Could the box be dead because the previous owner did a bad job of loading the software and firmware etc on to it?

Apologies if this is a lot of questions but I thought it would be best to give as much information as possible. Any help on this would be gratefully appreciated.

You answer your own question at the beginning when you say, "and it literally will not power on! It just seems dead. No power to it whatsoever!"

This box has a power supply problem - bad software is unlikely to cause the power supply to fail - you will not be able to load new software or do anything else with it until the power supply problem is solved.
