Downloaded and registered OptiFlasher 2.0
Downloaded NCF
Tried both following instructions given earlier using null cable and powering up.
All this to no avail i just cannot get the device to connect.
I have tried the Null Modem cable to access a Dreambox 500s with dreamup 1.3.3.9 and cable works ok.
I am udsing Win 7
Are the com port settings important ie baud rate, x on x off/hardware or none, bit rare etc.

I do not think the Dreambox 800HD PVR is a clone by the colour of screws on the back.
Used to start with sim 2.01 and 84BL and was eratic so tried to install new image which worked with OptiFlasher but not Dreamup but after the install--no ca.

Open your box and see what kind of sim have it.. then by optiflasher first flash bootloader then unplug and plug box then flash correct image..
If box doesn't respond with pc try xp win or another pc...

The box is a definite clone with a SIM 2.10. When it was working its BL was #84 I do not recollect an a or b next to the #84
Tried my null modem and cable with a dreambox 500 and it connects
Tried lots of versions of dreamup, and Sunray flash.
I have tried XP and a different PC
The only sign of life came when I tried a patched version of dreamup with a repair program which actually did get get me to a flash situation but the reported back that the file was too big (182k)the file you suggested to me sim2SE_SSL84_0923-nfi.
Can I just buy a new sim if so can I put a ferrari sim in or not? They seem to be about £30

Have you tried another Null modem cable? some times null cable response with small receivers as like 500s but doesn't with DM HD if cable doesn't work probable..so try with another null cable because one way to fix NO CA FOUND by flash image or bootloader by null cable..
Any way ... yes you can replace another sim..if you want change sim do this:
1-don't remove old sim.
2-flash any image with bootloader for new sim For example "Ferrari sim" flash any image with bootloader SSl88F.
3-unplug box.
4-open it and change sim.
5-Close box and plug it.

As i mentioned before you can not flash broken box with "NO CA FOUND" by lan network only by cable..Also if you change sim to new one and flash box you will get also "NO CA FOUND" and then you need to flash image by cable...
Any way...Just for test do this:
1-open box
2-remove sim
3-try to flash bootloader or image by optiflasher without sim
And see what happen then tell me..

Removed sim and the fan started and then stopped on power up--no display. Put sim back and now there is no display at all but fan running.
I put sim back fan runs but i still have no display.
