    without stating the obvious, have you tried it on another socket, is the box itself turned on..... just trying to eliminate the obvious!!

    Ok sounds like a Jtag issue!! best of luck!!

    This is from Scouser

    JTAG GUIDE

    Build the JTAG as below.

    JTAG is in the corner of the PCB and is a 20pin connector (no pins, just pads) layed out in a 2 x 10 array.

    Pin1 is the square pin.

    Connections are as follows:

    PIN9 = TMS
    PIN11 = TCK
    PIN13 = TDI
    PIN15 = TDO
    PIN19 = TRST

    Ground is all even number pins.

    VCC is the end of capacitor C40 nearest the processor.

    The box must be powered up to be flashed (don't worry about the lack of display or picture)

    Flashing with JKEYS
    -------------------

    Run JKEYS and Detect. Should come up as:

    Device ID: 0x1D405041
    Device: STi5518MVB-X

    Choose the IRD model as 4900

    Flash would be 29LV160
    Start : 7FE00000
    Bytes 20000

    Go into flash programmer.

    Erase chip first by clicking on Erase in the top right

    Flash chip with a working TSOP image by clicking on the top-right Program button.


    Flashing with S*YMax UP (Easier!)
    --------------------------------

    If you are having problems flashing with JKEYS you can also use S*YUP. This is much easier to use.

    Click on 2mb (0x7FE00000)
    Click Start
    Click Erase
    Click Write

    Choose your flash image .. sit back and wait

    Thanks to

    SunRise

    hi guys,

    Looks like I am having the same issue as the above. As the above solution means nothing to me I'm just wondering if somebody help. It is a genuine starview box just have no power going to it.

    Any help at all would be great!

    Thanks
