brand new 500s
brand new flash dk v1.1

[aftermath]

try the Pli jade image. might be the image didnt flash correct.

[shady77]

okay tried pli jade. but the damn thing still turns itself off on transponder scan. im gonna bin it unless someone wants it

[portbhoy]

My openmedia does this if you try a multisat scan, I just scan one at a time or drop a file in ;)

[shady77]

yeah trying just one satellite as i have a fixed dish till i move. its only set to look for astra.... bin day tomorrow

[Curious123]

Maybe you have a dodgy power adapter?

lol Nice to see you back anyway Shady lol

[shady77]

would that it were that simple curious. alas. power adaptor has been swapped over with 1 i know is working and nada. i can only assume a dodgy bit on the circuit board. this however is beyond my meagre electronic knowledge and so the bin men will have a nice surprise.

"dodgy bit on the circuit board"
thats electronic speak that is

had same senario mate i had to reflash then do a manual scan on a vertical transponder once i got that i done a auto scan and it worked hope this helps

i've had this problem with 2 dm500s.
every time i tried to scan using the motor the whole box would either hang or keep rebooting itself or just die.
i did a delete.image then reflashed using pli jade.

i came to the conclusion that i just hadnt flashed the boxes correctly!

try again m8
