That usually means it is in stand by state.

Press the power on button on the remote.

If it always goes to that state and does not respond to the remote or panel buttons you can try a flash.bin recovery.

flash.bin recovery is done like this.

Place a copy of the unpacked software (the .bin file) on a USB stick and rename it "flash.bin"
With the USB in the unit, power on while repeat pressing "Menu" on the remote. You must use the V7 remote on the V7.
The unit should reload the software.

Also other users say that you must use a USB stick, not a card holder etc and that stick must be 32Gb or under.

I have had units that will not recover.
Try using the same software as was in the unit when it crashed, not the new update software.
You must use the correct software, ie that for the V7HD, not software for any other freesat units.

Try even older software as the file for flash.bin.

Look at the LED in the USB stick. When the TV shows the message "USB Upgrade, do not turn off" you should see the LED on the USB flash as the file is loaded.
The USB LED should also flash a few times as the unit first powers on and looks at it.
Also users have said to use the rear USB port for this on V8 units.

Good luck

Owen

The remote does not respond to the flash.bin inside the flash disk.
I try to flash the unit by computer but no respond from the device.
Stuck in reset the device only, even if u reset by unplug from the power and plug the power again no respond

The last option is the RS232 method.

The V7HD is much the same method as the V8 Finder, but there may be no pins to connect to on the board.

Good luck
