Eurovox Max problem

Hi Karl Damien as per Karls post it will need to be Jtagged to bring it back to life. You can get a Jtag kit here with all you need instructions, firmware, etc. http://www.tailor-madecircuits.com/...id=32&osCsid=0fac196613c0d38d8be66b9b7e7fbca7

BTW are you sure its a Red clone, if it is dont worry

 

Hi guys got a red box and having the 8% prob. with it got latest f/w on 21-4-08 but losing sig all the time box is ok when first turn on then glitches and sig goes any help much appricated ...........tried and checked all connections even tried a booster still no joy need some help please

 

Where are you and what provider? Have you tried it at a friends house also?

 

if it doesn't work in someone else's house it's either a tuner or firmware problem.

 

Thanks guys that was quick...........scOuser im in lpool you helped me out b4 on another site last time i had probs tried it in another house still same got a starview upstairs and working fine could it be the s/w ?? just losing sig all the time

 

is there another more recent update for the red box ??

 

No thats the latest firmware for a Red. Is you incoming feed coming in upstairs? Sounds like a cable problem. Try it upstairs where the Starview is and see what its like.

 

HI ALL, I WAS JUST WONDERING, I HAVE A (EURO-VOX max 2006) AND ONE DAY IT JUST NEVER CAME ON, NO POWER, NOTHING. SO I PUT IT IN THE CUPBOARD AND FORGOT ABOUT IT. THEN MONTHS LATER I TRIED IT AND THE POWER CAME ON AND IT WAS OK UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO TURN IT ON THE NEXT DAY. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO SORT THIS.

IF ANYONE CAN HELP THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS

 

tried that m8....... upstairs is off the 3 way splitter and the starview works fine downstairs so its got me baffled thats why i thought it might be the s/w ......unless could it be the splitter ? but why does the star box work off it ......lent my cable out and will get it back at the w/end could it need re flashing??

 

Try it from the direct feed and not via a splitter. If still having a problem try it as said at a mates house. Its not a firmware issue as you are using the latest firmware. More than likely a cable or splitter problem.

 

Drop the caps please. Have you tried to flash it, have a look here http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/674371 also check the C14 capacitor on the PSU board.

 

Thanks sc0user will try in the mornin and get back to you gettin a bit late now thx again for your time m8 catch you L8r

 

No problem Tony let us know how you get on goodnight

 

Good evening young jedi

 

hi sc0user....sorry about the caps.

i tried to put my (euro vox max 2006) on, but still no power so i could not flash it.

you also said to check the C14 capacitor on the psu board, i dont know what that is, is there a diagram some where so i could check it out.

thanks sc0user

 

No problem. When you open up the box it will be on the PSU board, have a look at the pic below, notice it is bulging here and needs replacing:



As with all electrical devices please take care when working with them.

 

sc0user, that arrow`s a bit bendy. are you on the soup lol.

 

Its an old arrow and has grown weary over time, bit like myself

 

hi sc0user, checked c14 and compared to all the rest of the components, where as the rest of the components all seem to have flat tops, c14 is more rounded at the top, is that what you mean by bulging, if so what is my options.

thanks sc0user

 

Thats your problem then, just replace it. You can get them on fleabay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=350027240392&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=022 or Maplins http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx...n&U=SearchTop&T=eltrolytic capacitor&doy=15m2 part No VH50 at a cost of 50p.
