the only way i know to get it back is by reflashing it again , i had the same problem with a starview box 2 years ago , i put the wrong firmware into it , and it was stuck on standby , , but when i but the right firmware into it it worked right away , , so dont give up yet , go and get a memory stick and get firmware for all the models of the make you have and try them one at a time , just to get the box out of stand by , thats what i would mick
