Gigablue HD ULTRA UE red light problem

Hi All,
can anyone help me? I have been given a Gigablue HD ULTRA UE that is stuck on the red light when its turned on. Tried installing a bootloader and also tried flashing. Still nothing is happening. Is the box dead or can this be solved?
Thanks in advance
Simon

sounds like a clone. where do you get it from? if you have loaded right boatloader and image is should be ok

a friend has given it to me to see if i can get it up and running again. i have a VU+ Solo2 box and a dreambox. how do you tell if its a clone and is there anyway to get it going even if it is?

As far as I know.
Flash it with a properly formatted USB stick with no hidden folders on it. Any make will do.
