That would be great. Alot of people come on here and really havnt a clue on files and stuff,( im not that clued up on it me self ) it would cut alot of the hassle out for them. Hope u get it goin !

 

Shouldn't be any problem mainamn. The only problem that seems to come up is that new laptops don't
seem to have a DB9 serial port anymore, for some reason best known to the manufactures. I know I
flashed box several times from my old ( 18months ) laptop, and it works no problem.

 

Just as I thought. Was wondering .null modem cable ( is the port where it goes called DB9 serial port )
Just want to know if thats the technical name for it....

 

eamo i downloaded the file for jtagging but i can't open it getting a message saying windows needs to know what file created it choose from list or go online to find file this is all double dutch to me any help !

 

As far as I know that's what it's called.

 

Hi anto, you need to get a program called winrar, stick it in to your favourite search engine
for the link.

 

Good man thanks.
Logging off now for the nite, all the best lads.............

 

g'night mainamn

 

eamo thanks did what you said hey presto worked a treat was able to open file thank youuuuuuuu

 

no problem anto, we aim to please

well, most of the time anyway ;-)

 

Connected dead starview with jtag and loaded skymax, picks the box up fine. When I goto erase it keeps coming up with fail, I then load the fix and reboot the starview still nothing on the front. Think it could be because its sayin fail??? Have also tried jkeys and looks to work fine but still no lights on the front...any suggestions?

 

hi paz, if you are using skymax 2, try the older version, you can get it from the top link below.
I tried jtag with the newer version, and it wouldn't work.

 

Thanx Eamo,

I'll try it and get back to ya

what part of dub. u in??

 

ledzep is in d.6 if that helps

 

No problem paz. There's a new tuturial up on the site below. It's well worth a look, not my work, I was
pointed to it by scouser.

 

Eamo trying to load skymax but getting message that the parallel port cannot be opened. Any suggestions?




paz

 

When you tried it the first time, did you get this message, and is this with the older or newer version?
If it happens all the time, check in Device Manager that the parallel port exists. Do a right-click on
My Computer icon, select properties, then select Device Manager. Down the list you will see Com & LPT
ports, or something like that. You are looking for LPT1.
If it's happening with the older version only, try the new one again, and make sure 2mb is selected, I think.
I'm trying to remember what happened when I did mine, because I also got some errors.

 

same here i bought an old dell latitude from a pc shop just to update boxes slow but it works.

 

Goodnight all , time for some Zzzzzz
