slugworth,can the hardware be fix?
Yeahman this in my question too...
How can the hardware problem be fixed (is it possible ?) ?
Thanks for your help.
unless it's just a bad power supply,there isn't any user serviceable parts.To verify a bad power supply you would have to measure all the voltages.
I think it can't be fix anymore,i already send the box to the shop to check the power supply unit.they said the power supply is working and mention maybe the board is bad.look like have to buy a new one huh..
sell it for parts
people buy them for the power supply and other goodies
Ok I was having the same problem and just fixed it finally after a lot of trial and error heres what I did -
downloaded http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...de_8mflash.rar
then downloaded some older firmware -
SKYBOX_3601hd_CMT_120820071a.abs
(if you search google you will find it)
Then I plugged the box in and attached the null modem cable,
opened up the erom upgrade folder and ran CONFIG.BAT
then ran EROMUPGRADE
Selected the firmware I downloded
Ticked Include Bootloader
Clicked next
when it says-
synchonizing stb
Reset target
I unplug and replug the power cable out of the back of the box quite fast it will then let you carry on and recover the box
once recovered you can update to a later firware via usb or the X3 Lan tool.
hope this works for you as I was pulling my Hair out yesterday

The problem was boot loader corrupted.
Red light only can be boot loader problem.
I wasn't able to refresh it because of com1 wrong configuration.
With new swttings erom upgrade works.
Now after powering I can see scanning on display...
