If its an old model Audiostar, you can simply reload the correct firmware and it will work again.
I STRONGLY recommend only using the StarPatch ( free ) program to update firmware in the newer 497 type handboxes as it has many more safety features built in now to prevent this sort of thing.
If you have a later model Audiostar, then the std update procedure wont work and you will need to speak to your vendor, or do a 2 stage backdoor recovery process.
Soooo try to reload Audiostar firmware into the Hbx using StarPatch.
( You will need to use "Damn the torpedoes mode" but it will work or give an error that it cant erase the memory )
If it works you are laughing.
If not, ie you get the "cant erase memory" error
then depending upon how you want to handle it, you can
a) Request a new Hbx under warranty
b) Run a special little program we have developed that fixes the problem.
Caveat, the fix has been run by several people successfully now ( and by myself about a dozen times ) but it is not covered by any warranty


You CANNOT MUSTNOT plug an Audisotar Hbx into an LS scope.
It will work with LT scopes, but the LS uses adifferent type of Hbx an uses different cables.
