Why did my screen turn black after upgrading the firmware on my Boxee Box?

NOTE: This firmware will only fix the issue if your Boxee Worked prior to upgrading the firmware.

The latest Boxee firmware has made some changes that have affected the use of some DVI to HDMI Converters.

Boxee is aware of this issue and has come up with a firmware fix.

Download the Boxee Box firmware at http://bbx.boxee.tv/download/boxeebox. The downloaded file will be named boxee.iso, and that name must be maintained.
  1. Copy the boxee.iso file to a USB thumb/flash drive. Make sure to properly eject the flash drive after copying the file.
  2. Power down the Boxee Box.
  3. Power up the Boxee Box by pressing and holding the power button for 6-10 seconds. Upon release, the Box will boot with the logo turned orange.
  4. After the Recovery Menu appears, connect your thumb drive to the Boxee Box, wait 2 seconds, then select Upgrade from USB from the menu, and follow on-screen instructions.
Once Upgraded restart the Boxee and After the cube animation has ended wait a minute or so until you can hear the navigation sounds and then from the Boxee remote please select "Up,Right,Down,Left,Up,Right,Down,Left" from the Dpad side and wait for Boxee to reboot.
