H96 Pro Plus dead?

[ErnieBall]

So i bought a H96 Pro Plus from China, it is a 2+16 Model, board says CZ-S32-v2.2.
Out of the Box it did not output any Signal over HDMI, the Blue power LED and the red LED in the Toslink port do light up though.
I tried holding the reset button while connecting the power plug, but nothing happens.

I did a fair bit of research regarding USB burning tool, the problem is it doesn't even get recognised as a USB device by my PC,
let alone the USB Burning Tool. I have another S905x box, that when i plug it into my PC i hear the windows sound for USB devices,
and i can see the device in Buurning tool, so my cable is OK. None of that happens with the H96 Pro Plus.

I get the feeling, that this unit has a Hardware issue, not just a firmware issue....

Has anyone had a similar experience and can maybe help me out?
Any help is much appreciated!

I'm in the same situation. I have the non plus version. When I plug in the power, the light is on but no output through HDMI. The computer doesn't detect the box.

curious can you boot recovery into twrp ?
if so maybe someone would be kind enough to make a twrp backup for yas.

Not at all. It doesn't show anything on the screen when I plug it in.

so you have twrp on an sdcard and your using the toothpick method to boot into recovery ?

also, I haven't used burning tool in awhile but a friends t95z plus wasn't working so I used it a few mins ago and here some things I forgot
on this box there is only 1 usb port that will work so try them all.
and of course I forgot to use the toothpick 1st shot then realized why it wasn't working until I did that lol

Thanks for responding, kodiliscious.
It doesn't seem like twrp is available for this box. I've tried to boot it with the toothpick trick and the USB A-A cable but the computer doesn't detect the box. I think I tried all the USB port but I will give it another shot. Thanks again.

heres some links to find the correct twrp I don't have this box now so I cant test.

A firend told me he went through this b4 so im just passing it along.
make sure when installing burning tool the license goes to proper place as per burningtool instructions.
he said 1st always try burning tool that comes with firmware, dont keep using same burning tool ( a slight pain uninstalling and installing and placing the license folder in proper place )and different firmwares that didnt come with it.
if no success try newest burning tool and work your way back if you have a firmware you are confident will work.
lastly he said on 1 or 2 occasions, after starting burntool and plugging in usb, once it starts also plug in the boxes power cord.

I fixed mine by leaving the power adapter plugged in and connect the USB-A cable to it.

Thx for the feedback. Just to clarify, you connected power, plugged in Usb cable and flashed with burning tool?

You have the exact same problem as me. Fixed it using a good 5V/2.5A+ power adapter (actually a smartphone micro usb charger + a usb type A to 5.5mmx2.1mm ( not 2.5mm ! ) DC barrel cable). The issue is that crappy power adapter (still worked for one month for some reason...)

[ErnieBall]

Interesting, I never tried another power supply. Worth a shot

I recovered mine with that procedure.

Pressing the reset button all the time, plug the usb and then the power cord. The PC recognized the box immediately.
