Starview 4 invalid box won't turn on

yes, to the letter, worked for a few days, then problem, rest to factory proceeder, result... no difference.

 

chorai it's impossible for them to see, it's a one way system. No talk back on the boxes to the cc.

 

Total agreement Mooley, For sure its one way, its that somethings not right, its got to be the fix, hoping to get more reports of this disturbance to see if it covers other areas, like anyone out there got the starview 4 usb around the Ireland can report similar.

 

There's a mention I saw earlier of a similar prob. I'll have a look. Have a quick look also. Pretty sure I something similar.

 

And you've already tried to flash it again? Sorry just better ask.

 

I'm thinking, tomorrow the treads will be packed with the sameo sameo.
Yes, reflashed and still blank. Tell you what, I'll sleep nicely tonight knowing I ain't a dealer, god cherish them, for the walls seem to be crumbling.

 

does the box come on,and does it list the channel numbers,any channels showing like freeview?

 

maybe try an older v109 version on it do a factory reset first,flash,and scan and keycode to on,if that works we will know then.

 

Relating all this over the phone, will collect said boxes and test your suggestion (v109)tomorrow personally. Thanks Lads.

 

if so factory reset first,i might even try a new file download having deleted old one off pc first.also remember the usb stick rule.

 

This is only happening on cloned Starview 4 USB receivers. The V1.10 software is not clone friendly.

Where did you buy the box from?

 

Mine wasn't a clone and it happened on mine

 

Look through the grills on the top chassis cover. if you see a silver heat sink on top of the processor, then you have a clone.

This is the most obvious way of telling a Starview 4 clone. The processors that the clones use have not passed the quality control, i.e. The processors yield temperature exceeds the recommended value. Therefore a heat sink is used to keep the temperature down.

 

Mine was a clone and I updated to 1.10 and it went the same way as the rest of them.

 

i have same problem with mine did you manage to sort yours?

 

get on to the supplier, and get them to get it repaired, as im sure the box is under warranty.

 

if people get a box repaired/replaced and its a clone dont think it will be of much use no clone firmware,for irl anyway.

 

it wont be under warranty if you put firmware on it

 

If the box is dead it wont matter, weather or not there is software on it or not, as the box will be dead, so i would not worry about that part of it, who is to say the box was not running FTA software. ??

 

jeez got stung with one of these as well...


Working fine after putting new firmware on it and then next day "invalid box" froze, powered off, then no power again...

Heat sink is fitted to this SV4 so obviously a clone....


Must be killer software from SV......


is Jtagging working or any other fix.....

maybe we can get clone safe soft soon???
