My box has died after popping up with the message "This box is a invalid box" I'm sure its not a clone but an older box that had an older version than 1.7 on it. I have seen some other posts that say you can max232 it but I've seen others which say this only works for the 8882 error.
Does anyone know if there is a way to bring the box back to life, or is it dead forever?
Has anyone successfully used the max232 circuit with this error?
TRY THIS MATE
Have you tried to re-flash it? Although sounds like a Jtag may be required, however try this first as the scart may just need to be reset:
1) Connect Eurovox to TV using TV/VCR aerial connection on back of box with a coax lead as opposed to a scart connection..
2) Plug Eurovox into mains and switch on.
3) Tune in a spare channel on your TV until you see the Eurovox.
4) You will see a request to enter a PIN – use the master PIN 1004.
5) Enter Menu and go to ‘Config’.
6) Go to ‘Clear Data’.
7) Enter PIN – 1004
8) Go to ‘Factory Default’, click OK.
9) Click on your Symbol rate, either Symbolrate(6887 for N**, 6952 for Telepest & C&* or 6875 for Ch**us).Press OK.
10) Click OK when the warning comes up.
11) Exit and then load your CDF if you have one, if not look for one for you area provider in our CDF section in downloads or carry out a fresh scan.

Yeah I think it's a 1st gen. Strange though because that firmware has been on for months.
