Hi please help
new to all this. Have a raspberry pi that has stopped working and updating, in my wisdom have formatted the sd card and just need to know what/ how needs to go back on it, Had open elec, xmbc, tv add ons on it originally plus some others. Have tried to install open elec back onto it but to no avail.

ok many thanks for advice will give it a go and let you know.
Cheers
Downloaded two files you said, got open elec file onto 7z program, the problem I have then is how do I transfer it to the win disk imager program to write to the sd card? Told you I was new to this.
Thanks

I must be doing something wrong somewhere, when I open wndiskimager there's no file to write. Once file is on 7z program, is there something I need to do to make it appear on windiskimager? Sorry

You need to extract it to somewhere you can find again, then open it in windisk32imager

Hello,
Although I do have a keyboard plugged into my Pi, I think all you really need is a mouse to select the choices.
Try a USB mouse. It should pick up that and then you can click through the choices.
