Starview 2 The Box HELP!!!

my starview box has worked fine until recently when i turned it off then back on and it stuck at this screen



Before this screen come on though the lights go across the display bar on the box itself but stop at this one then the screen loads




Can anybody help me with my problems????

 

Have you tried a reflash?

 

Naa fella, me mate does mine 4 me and he only gets off holiday next week so i have to wait, was just wonderin if ther was another thing a could try before he gets back lol

 

Yep learn how to do it yourself, all the info is here for you and there are plenty of people here to help you out

 

scouser mate got same problem tried to reflash keeps on failing managed to do it once the box came on to the menu pressed ok on english and it turned of and still does the same keep trying to reflash again but keep on failing any ideas

 

have answered you on another thread

is it possible that you have a clone unit and this is what has happened to it try flashing back to an earlier firmware and see will that fix the problem

 

my box 2 was doing the same booting all the time, numbers on display all wrong. i ended up nipping the metal where the cable goes into the box and now its working again not sure how long for thou

 

ive managed to put earlier software on 4.51 but made no difference not sure what to do next dont really understand what tmurrell managed to do i think it might be the end of this box any more ideas thanks in advance

 

hi my box was doing the same as yours i tryed everything u have and couldnt get it to work so i will try and explain what i did that got my box up and running with no problems. on your box where the cable feed plugs in to it, look at this (on the back of your box) u will see that it is a female connection (a pin in the middle with a hole in it)all i did was nipped this pin together abit to make the connection tighter for when i plugged the cable feed in and hey presto put box on and everything was working fine all i had to do then was put latestest firmware back on as i tryed same as u and put older firmware on. i too thought my box was really for the bin but its not alls fine now hope this helps

 

tried it still no luck thanks for reply mate not sure what to do next door stop i think?

 

oh well i suppose its dead as no one has any ideas pleasecan someone help

 

just want to say that i dont think your box is dead if it was then u wouldnt get anything at all on the box no picture or power to the box ect i put the 4.55 firmware on mine are u putting the firmware on the box right do the number go across the screen on the box while the firmware is loading it should go from one to 100 then do u wait untill u get a message that your download loades sucessfull before u disconect your box

 

problem is im not getting any numbers just the green line going left to right but on the loader goes 0 to 100% but no numbers on the box

 

It just seems that you probably have had a bad flash, click on the 1st link at the bottom and read the post (re-fergus) 3rd down and try that, if you have a constant green ---- moving across then your box is not dead.

 

yeh it seems to be a problem putting the firm ware on, this did happen with me a couple of times when i was updating my box.put the firmware on and the ---- were on the box after it said download complete i turned the box off at the back turned it back on again waited for the box to light up and stop i then clicked to download firmware again if number dont go up on box keep repeating untill they do. hope this helps

 

I seem to remember this problem a while ago,when the starview2 was the latest box,i fixed many a box this way......Set everything up for a flash (comp to box with latest software ) turn box off at the back,, then turn on again and just as it is starting to boot up THEN hit the "download software " button,this should force flash your box and make it all well again, hope it helps

Just try what I suggested in earlier post, The Bad Flash Recovery Method okay, it has been known to take in excess of 25 attempts but it will eventually kick in for you. You will find all the information at both the Starview links below, just give it a go and you will need a bit of perseverance and patience.

 

i managed to flash the box it starts up with the menu i get as far as scanning for channels get to as far as 60% but the box switches off and reboots to main menu again is it possible the caps inside box have over heated and need replacing how can i tell any ideas thanks for all your help

 

yes the caps on the PSU i would say need to be replaced open it up and look on the top of them and see if the X is bulging at the top

 

ive just looked cant seem to tell is there any pictures i can have a look at to compare thanks for reply
