Eurovox 2 sensor not working

hi ive flashed my mates eurovox 2(genuine) but i think the sensor must have gone on the box i have tried other remotes but they wont work and ive thried her remote on another box which works. is there any way to put the pin code in to access the scan stuff without a remote?
thanks

try flashing the box again, won't do any harm and might sort the problem for you

 

Sounds like the same thing that happened to me with a eurovox blue clone box take a read through this page and maye the one before it as another poster had it happen to a eurovox 1000, it might help courtesy of hiteck and scouser, I hav'nt tried it yet to see if it sorts out my box in question.

hi ive reflashed the box - no joy apparently my mate says the remote hasnt worked for a white but it isnt the remote that is faulty, i just wondered if there was another way to enter the menus without a remote inorder to reset to factory and scan etc
thanks

What firmware did you flash it with. How many scart sockets at the back?.

 

hi hitech, its got 2 scarts on back so i flashed it with the one for evox2 in link for updated fixes

Just to double check, this is the box you have,

 

yes it is

 

OK delete the Firmware and loader you have for this box off your PC.

Re-download these,

LOADER

FIRMWARE

Do a clear data then a factory default then re-flash with the files above then do another factory default and re-scan providing the remote works...

 

ok will get it back off her and do on monday(im away for the weekend) ill let you know. i used the firmaware on her other evox 2 and it worked perfectly but she said the remote hasnt work for a while on this one

Test the remote control,

To check that he remote is working OK,
Press ANY button on your remote, Point it at a camera/mobile phone as if you're going to take a picture of the remote LED, through the screen on a camera/mobile phone you should see the remote sensor flash if it's working.

 

i have a eurovox which will not respond to remote(remote is good as it works on other box)i suspect it is the ir sensor,any body know where i could buy one of those sensors

 

hi tech the remote is working ok

Did you check it with the camera as advised and was the led flashing?.

Take the lid off where the ribbon from the sensor plugs into the board make sure it's plugged in all the way.

Do as HiTeck suggested. Take the top off the box, and make sure that the ribbon cable from the front panel is securely connected on both ends. You might even disconnect the cable on both ends and then reconnect, just to ensure a good fit. Slightly off topic, but this fixed at least one starview last year, if not more.

 

i hae the top opened and panel is connected by a soldered ribbon cable at both ends and looks very secure including joints, one question i am presuming the ir sensor is the component to the right of the led (a 1/2 cm x 1cm x 1 cm depth, three legs and and a x like diamond on top)
