You can't upgrade it with a PC. Search the forum, there are many topics with issues like you have

To be honest, if you get nothing on the LCD screen then that's a bad sign.

1. Try a different PSU.

2. Try connecting to TV using the composite video ports.

3. Try installing the same firmware as was on the box before it stopped working, but with the files in this post (bootargs.bin, fastboot.bin, recovery.img) also on the USB stick: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1622.msg14469#msg14469

4. Consider warranty with your reseller.

5. Try the full disassemble and forced firmware install process as at link above. Use the update.zip from the last known working firmware first, then if that doesn't work (presuming box was running Android 7) try fw version 2.0.1.

I don't know which firmware version was on it

Where did you buy it from and when? That will give me some idea.

If you bought the item recently then it probably had Android 7 installed. Everything produced from mid 2017 onwards had Android 7 factory installed.

I suggest attempting to flash firmware 2.0.1 as above.

In that situation I think option 4 in my list. As I said in earlier posts, nothing from HDMI and no LCD is not a good sign.

I have fixed the photos: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1622.msg14469#msg14469

Option 4 is contact your reseller for warranty. I don't think the chances of recovery are high.

Interesting. Your Q10 Pro is either Chinese version hardware (which is different to European version and incompatible with European firmware) or a revised European PCB (which I wasn't aware existed).

The pins to short will be one of the two combinations highlighted in red below. Note that if the hardware is Chinese version you can only install Chinese firmware, not any of the firmwares on this forum. This may be where you've gone wrong in the first place.

More details needed. Did it ever start? What firmware was installed? Do you see any lights on the box (power, LCD, light on ethernet port)?

Those symptoms suggest a hardware problem. Best case is that it's the PSU. Try another PSU.
