I think i might have a problem on my hands.

Got my chromebox home today and intended to install standalone openelec as per this thread.

what has happenned:

activated developer mode, removed write protect screw
booted the script as per the thread
ran the script to create a openelec install disk successfully
returned to the main menu
ran the script to create standalone coreboot installer firmware and created a back up of stock firmware, chrome box suggested a reboot, so i rebooted, and now nothing boots.
I can't get any boot menu, no matter what usb stick i have inserted, nothing boots, i press escape and no menu comes up, i have tried the recovery procedure (paprer clip and reboot) and still nothing shows up? i followed the script to a letter, what has happened? and how to a get something to boot to start this over again?

thanks in advance

are you connecting to a TV or monitor? It seems that the resolution used on the SeaBIOS boot screen is not one that all TVs can handle. You can always try blindly selecting your USB installer by pressing [ESC] then [2] and seeing if the installer screen comes up. You might have to play with the timing though. I just reset / reflashed both my i3 and celeron ChromeBoxes here to make sure everything is ok with the files/script, and it appears to be.

Created an account just to comment on this. I had the same problem as blahfod...exact same.

I blind booted, escape, then 2 and voila! It worked. I'm using a hdmi to DVI cable on a POS 1680x1050 monitor for reference.

Thanks Matt! You saved my night.

I may be having the same problem, though the blind booting hasn't worked for me so far... When I turn on the ChromeBox, I get power (the fan spins, and the USB devices are powered), but no video signal at all over HDMI. Neither my 1080p television nor my 2560x1440 monitor work. I've tried the blind [ESC] [2] thing a bunch of times, to no avail. It shouldn't matter which USB ports the keyboard and bootable drive are plugged into, right?
