If it were able to take a bootloader by USB, it would have taken an image.

IMO, if it accepts bootloader by serial, you can flash an image again. If no joy, it will have to be sent back to TM. Same process, but use latest and appropriate bootloader.

abu thanks for advice ,ive tried flashing different images , used different usb sticks, tried booloaders , nothing just hangs on starting, the only thing I haven't tried is disconnecting cable from hard drive as someone suggested but don't really want to try that as it probably will be ruined if I gave that a go
so back to tm with it , how do I get in contact with them

Please do as Sicilian suggests. No sat cable, no network cable, no hdd cable.

If that does not work, please try flashing the bootloader by serial, not usb.

TM number is 020 8884 0701

update , phoned technomate , guy was very helpful and told me that sometimes but not a lot this can happen to the boxes , he said that probably during update there must have been a glitch or something which corrupts memory and they would reset box and send it back to me , so good news
