Will do, just getting the information together for everyone. Make sure to keep an eye on your PM boxes [here]
I just got mine from Dell.com (it was unbelievably cheap) and I'm having the exact same problem. Did anyone get to have it replaced? And did it work fine after that?
sorry to revive this thread but Im assuming if no green light comes on when you plug it in, its irreparable?
thanks
ahh looks like I'm gonna have to get another one then altho no one seems to sell them in the UK any more, thanks for the info.
For the record will I be alright to just plug this one directly into the machine running seven first time?
I thought i would let you guys know.
My receiver broke about a week (3 days after hawx demo was released) after i posted screenshots on 1st page.
It worked fine when i installed win7, but then one day it just wouldn't light up.
I didnt have warranty for it, so i found a "fix" on the internets, but it only worked for about 5 minutes.
What was this supposed "fix"? I wouldn't mind trying to get my broken one going again.
For the record, my replacement unit is still working perfectly. :)
the fix was to bypass some part on the circuit out(you will need soldering iron for this one). it worked for about 3 minutes until it turned hot.

ok, i can plug this in to my usb port on my DVR box and it will charge. if i plug it in to any usb port on my win 7 build it will blink a green light once and do nothing.
any more info on this? my charge cable works on random usb ports on other electronics but not my pc with win 7 rtm.
