I have attempted to flash my os however once it completes, I get a blank screen.

The window button responds but there is no visual display - even after a reboot nothing happens.

I can flash back to the original bios so I can at least use my mpc, but would like to try out the new os's

This happens on both Akais os v2.1 and jj's os v3.05

Has anyone seen this before or know how to get around this?

Any help appreciated - thanks in advance

Thanks for the help but I'm afraid it didn't work

It appears to boot, but there is no display, and none of the pads work

A long shot I know but may it be cos I've only got 16Mb RAM (awaiting delivery of 128Mb RAM and 100Gb HDD)

If you got OS 3.05 installed display contrast is adjusted by spinning the datawheel while holding STOP.
If that doesn't work, power up while holding erase.

Nice1 Cowbell, seems holding erase did it - what does that do by the way, is it some sort of BIOS reset or something?

Thanks for your help peeps
