Info regarding sound or other queries within (NO CODE REQUESTS/code POSTING)

hi ferg scouse main les my box is is just stuck ihave sound no prob no keys work on remote i have updated to the clone firmware and its same ass it was picture is just frozen

 

how is ur signal quality i had same problem with a digivox cc problem as i replaced box with a different one and same problem frozen!

 

it keeps switching itself on and off now with picture still frozen?????

 

is it well ventilated and any burning smell,if it cools down when switched off will it work for a while until it heats up?

 

its been in the same place 4 7 months so i would imagine so second question no it has sound and a frozen picture

 

Check your scart Martin , also did you install the 2.57_FIXED firmware ?

 

ps and the remote will not work without turning the box on and of if it does not beat me 2 it

 

If you have a mobile phone with a camera, switch it to camera mode. Point the remote at the camera lens and press some buttons , and you should see the infra-red LED flashing on the screen. If you don't see it flashing, then yes, the remote is dead.If you do see it flashing, then it's not the remote.

If the remote still works Martin , open up the screws on the b0x and check the connectors are tight at the LCD screen , they could be a bit loose

 

yes i did install the firmware scart is fine there is no change with the new firmware than the old les still doing the same sound fine and picture froze and keeps rebooting ???

 

i have checked that les seems like somthing internal to me

 

very strange not come accros this one before

 

If you can martin , try a factory setting and turn the b0x off for a min then continue with a fresh installation , it might work

 

ok les will give it a go let you know later time 4 my bed take care will let you know later today thanks les

Do a factory reset first then turn the box off at the back for a min ok then turn box back on again then do your flash with the box in standby mode then when the flash is finished turn the box back off again then either do a rescan or put channel dump on the box then turn it off again and connect to tv check the scart lead for any pushed in pins or bent ones ok or any foreign object stuck in or around it try that and let me know thanks

Also check the main provider lead going into the the box is it frayed or is there any of the wire mesh on the inside touching the main wire inside the cable

Hi Martin

Are you using a splitter on the feed if so you might need a booster on the line also try changing the scart lead as well see if this works
