hi lads its me again reason i haven't been back to you is b cause i was told my starview clone was un repairable it has no power after i tried to flash it with a genuine one.is it for the bin or can it be retrieved thank you

 

probably needs a jtag,plenty of info around

 

It can be repaired with a jtag kit

You can get one here yourself

Or if you are in Ireland send a private message to Fergusrb and he can point you in the right direction to get it repaired

 

Celtic, can you or anyone else help please. I have a box and just turned the monitor over and the box is frozen on sky sp 1.
There is a 0 on the front panel of the box. i have tried turning it off and on at the back , i have no picture but have sound. No comands on the remote work, i have changed the batteries. ?????
Please help
Ky

 

^^^ sounds like your having a similar problem to me this morning mine went off will get frozen on 1 channel.... the display on the box keeps going blank or getting little line flashing across.....

 

Its a hardware fault.

1.Remove the cap (c21) electrolytic near the ribbon on the psu board.
2.Boot the box , it should boot to on and function correctly , the psu will hum ignore it , just let it boot to ON ,then turn it back off.
3.Replace electrolytic cap (c11) 1000 mic @10v on the psu board , resolder (c21)
thats it done.

You can get caps from Maplins

 

If you have ---- going across the LED , you probally just need to flash it

You will need to know if you have a clone or genuine

Count the vents on top

18x7 = Clone
25x7 = Genuine
13x7 = 1st Generation

Also you can go here to see some pics

^^^ yes thats exactly what i have.... and it has 18x7......

 

You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

Null modem info

If your pc does not have a serial port you will need a USB to serial port adapter to use in conjunction with the null modem cable.

USB Adapter info

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx...t10&doy=search&MenuName=USB to Serial Adaptor

These two cable links are only for reference as they can be purchased alot cheaper on fleabay.

All firmware/loader can be found in the link at the end of my post marked Eamos Library.

You will need the GTromloader, (Starvi*w Software Uploader), found in the Starvi*w software folder of the link.

You will need version 2.57_FIXED firmware for CLONES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder.

And please download the Starvi*w PDF guide,(this will give you step by step instructions on how to do everything.This can be found in the Starvi*w Documentation folder in the link.
