Skybox F5 freezing

[alatham]

Hi guys

I'm new to all this but I've had my skybox f5 a few months now and all has been working fine up until last night I was watching the box and it was working fine I turned the channel over and it froze on me. I unplugged it from the back of the box and restarted the box once it at loaded up it instantly froze and this keeps happening now. I have read on the internet about using the LAN Tool but not sure how to use this does anyone have a step by step guide on how to use the LAN Tool or any ideas as to what could be causing this to happen.

Thank you in advance

Does your box still lock up if you boot it up with the LNB cable removed? If it doesn't, then it sounds like it could be the LAN tool problem.

Have you read this thread:-

Read from post #65 for the solution.
