After Firmware Update Lights Flash

Hi

After a Firmware Update I have lights flashing across the display. I understand this means booting (based on readings) but it has not stopped flashing.

I have a Fortec Lifetime

This is what I did

I have a good female to female 9 pin serial cable and the com port works
I used Fortec STB Updater ver.3.21
The bin is Lifetime(N)_040401_224_api
I checked the intergrety of each file

I did a factory reset and powered off
I hooked up the the reciever to the computer via serial cable
I ran the updater and had a successful update (according to the message)
I closed out the program and and turned the reciever off.
I disconnected the serial cable and turned the reciever on at the toogle switch.

Lights started to flash and still flash after 10 minutes. Unit will not go any further.
