Reset didn't work, power cable out didn't work, no light, red or blue.
I then did exactly the same process to another box, but change the remote.conf to the correct one for mini m8s ( restore was from an a95x). It the did the same, but because either had changed the remote.conf i could just press power on and it was back.
so, my question is, what can i do to get the other box working? I can't get it to reset or power off properly, only option i am thinking of is find an a95x remote?
