    Hi,

    Last time i used my box was late last year, (lots going on) it flashed up with a "0" on the screen and nothing.....

    Box is a 7X18 VENT clone.
    Need to fix that first, then i would like to update the firmware.
    I know this has been spoken about lotes , but if some one could help that would be great.
    Thanks......

    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 they can also be found on fleebay item No 110091935709.

    Have a search on the site, there are other posts

    why dont you just update your box with the rolling firmware for clones??? IF you can do the above, sticking a cable into your SV and uploading the firmware which takes 2 mins!! saves all the messing around..............

    The codes are here
