Blktgr74 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hi guys got a gamebox 1000 in 1 here and all of a sudden a screen has come up saying something about press f8 and select safe mode. I cant read all of the text so just wondering if anyone knows anything about these red gamebox things .

0 Blktgr74 Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Sounds like windows OS Must have not shutdown properly? Press F8 then shutdown & start again??? Check CMOS battery? How do I press f8 or which button represents f8. Or does this have to be done while it is hooked up to a computer. Id really like to get it sorted before tomorrow or I may have to talk to the in laws:( Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JimA Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Don't want to have to talk to the in-laws now.... http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=65961.0 http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/326640/gamebox-malware/ Any of these help?

0 dragonlee Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Plug in a keyboard via USB port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Blktgr74 Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Changed the battery and it went to the boot screen and said press f1. Went to find a keyboard and one of the kids switched if off and now I have a blank screen. I really don't like these pc based chinese systems much prefer the solid state type. Is there anything that I can try or is it game over talk to the mother in law merry Christmas. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
