Starview Box - No power NOT a clone

Hi,

A friend of mine bought 10 starview boxes which we flashed following the advice from other posts. All have worked perfectly but one box now has a problem.

The user plugged the box into a non-active cable line and the box is dead. No power at all.

Any ideas?

Thanks

can u even reflash it ?

 

Box has no power and does not appear to switch on. Can I flash a box with no power?

 

no it has to be on at least standby mode !
is it a genuine starview or a clone ?

 

If there is no power looks like wrong firmware put on it possible jtag issue

 

Box is not a clone (purple packaging and matches description of genuine including remote). I've put the same firmware on this box as I have the other 9 and they've been no problem. The firmware I put on was the 400e.......

Thanks

how many slots are on the top of box

18 slots is a clone box

25 slots is genuine box

13 first gen box which do you have

 

checking fleabay its flooded with clones,blew box up[no not exploded] magnification and counted vents 18 and 28 days warranty as i thought all starview1 models originals discontinued, so if ur bying beware and read everything!

 

how are u plugging box in 2pin into wallsocket bad connection.
2pin into shaver adapter thats a no no
2pin with euro connector ok
13amp plug ok
i dont see how a dead cable affecting ur box

 

Crackkid why are you answering someone who is not going to answer your questions wait till they come back to you first

 

sorry just thought i could help as i went thru same thing box dead.

 

There is no problem cactikid i am just pointing out to you there is no point answering a person who is just not bothered to answer anybody back that is why i stopped if they can not be polite and answer back their questions why should we bother i was not getting at you m8 but dont waste your time on someone who is not bothered themselves and you are welcome to help anytime ok

 

Sorry for taking a while to get back as I said previously the boxes are not mine so I had to check. There are 13 slots on the box. It plugs into the wall with the standard 3 pin plug.

Not sure if it's me your referring to fergusrb but the person who owns the box's mother died yesterday and I thought it sensitive to wait.

Yes it was sorry to here about that but it would be nice for you to say to someone ya not got box at present will get back to you and not having members posting to you and getting no reply

Anyway forget about that you have a first generation box so what is the problem with it i think you said that it was dead is this correct if so can you check the fuse in the plug and let us know if ihave it wrong what the problem is thanks

 

ok point taken thanks.

Fuse has been changed with no effect. Box worked perfect until it was plugged into a non-live virgin media line.

Is there any life at all on the box or just dead completely

 

Dead completely as if it wasn't even plugged in.

 

make sure that one wasnt a clone first
check it here http://www.freewebs.com/dooby2oon/
u may have got one thrown in !
If its not a clone maybe by plugging it into a dead cable could have killed it ( not sure, but looks that way). It may have done damage to the bootloader. only a jtag can bring a dead box back to life !

 

Ok thanks. If its dead then its dead. I just hoped that someone had come across this before.

Thanks for the help guys.
