I think I've broken my FRITZ!Box

[PaulOckenden]

I was trying to upgrade my FBF ATA from German to English, but I accidentally pulled the power plug before the update had finished.

I now have a box which flashes all of its LEDs every 10 seconds or so. I guess that's some code for "You've killed me you idiot!".

I read on a different thread that I might be able to re-flash the device using recover.exe from the CD. Just one problem - there's no recover.exe on my CD...

Does anyone have any idea what I should do next? Is my FBF ATA now an expensive paperweight, or will I be able to recover it?

Thanks for your help,

Paul.

Contact AVM support via email - they will send you the appropriate recover.exe you need. I had the same problem before as well and recovering the firmware using recover.exe worked well.

hth,

Now sorted - thanks!
