soldiaz Hi Soldiaz!

I was trying to flash the new Spartan ATV ROM by minixfreak onto my HK1 Play 4/64GB box using USB Burning Tool v2.2.0 and now I'm stuck with the RED LIGHT issue. The box doesn't turn on and also won't detect in USB Burning Tool anymore on the PC. The last ROM which I was using was Minixfreak OS v4 as posted by you which was running fine until now, but suddenly it started to give a black screen after 5 min of use and then shut down automatically.

I used to have X96 Mini before and faced the same issue but solved it by short pin method on the board but when I open this box, I'm not able to find the pins to short. Could you please help me to revive by box?
???????

I feel sorry, do not know, it is BGA board....

you posted in 2GB unit, with 2GB board pins are reachable

Wow, its been 9 months since my last post. Once my box was revived I'm done playing with its FW, I only rooted it and use it as it is.
Surprisingly, it is not so bad since I got it with a discount for around USD 30 for this 2/16 box. Movies play fine, Youtube is enough for my needs, and I installed around 32 games ranged from angry birds to Real Racing 3 and grimvalor for my kids, and it plays well enough. I solved it lacks for bluetooth with droidmote app, it includes remote, keyboard and gamepad using my smartphone, better than its IR remote. It also forwards bluetooth gamepad to the tv box, just connect the gamepad to the smartphone and keep droidmote app open.
For now, I'm satisfied, can't complain for a 30 buck worth tv box

I'll wait for s922x or tegra x1 to reach USD 40 pricepoints
