H3 woes

[rdoac]

Hi..

I just got a second mvp through ebay.  However, this is an H3 version.  (It wasn't advertised as wireless, but has a wireless mac address on the back).

I have spent the morning jumping through hoops trying to get it working.  I did manage to get vomp working on it briefly, but now it hangs on the boot up screen.  I get four of the five blue blocks illuminated without the fifth ever coming on, then the system reboots and tries again.

When it did work it ran through its own startup, got to the fifth box, gave me a list of servers (including my vdr box) which I then clicked on, then said downloading firmware (I think).  It did that twice, but now won't do anything.

Anyone have any ideas?  Would it have overwritten its internal firmware which asks for booting?

I get nothing in logs anywhere.

Posting to my own post again.

This H3 version of the box needs to be left powered off for a minute or two before being powered on again or it freezes.  Not sure if there is an FAQ but sounds like some usful info in case someone (like I did) panics.
