have u check ur scart lead

another tv

if you have not tried it yet,plug into a different tv with new scart lead,if its the same you know its the starview..

[redeye094]

just tried another scart - no good, its like after a few minutes it overheats or something - the picture starts to break up then straight after nothing - ive noticed the channels wont change when gone

[redeye094]

no good im afraid - tried different scart and tried tv out cable. still freezes up after couple of minutes -even with scart in starview, as though its overheats or something - any thoughts

sounds like a tuner problem to me mate. or could be a bad flash try flashing it again mate

[redeye094]

ok - next problem - thought id try reflashing - starview doesnt show anything on usb stick - formatted to fat32 - have carling 1.03 and 1.04 but nothing - also usb stick doesnt light up when inserted - can i not reflash via rs232

lok in furums for jtagging mate :as the wife had the polish round it ?cause it to over heat vents need to be clear to keep it cool jtag should sort

[redeye094]

i'd like to try the jtag route but me thinks above my station - anyone in wolves area that can do and charge me for it would be helpful

[cactikid]

old non working files,can you look in through vent to see if caps are gone domed or leaky.

[redeye094]

not too sure what im looking at but all seems clean and tidy, rather new looking

[sladest]

soundsw kike jtag job.

[redeye094]

no joy on the jtag front - like i said its above my understanding - have tried the test channel ( hold control up on the box then power on ) can get in test and when i try usb test it fails - was hoping to reset the box somehow - any other ideas

[cactikid]

try another usb stick as it may be faulty

[redeye094]

tried a few - formatted to fat32 - no joy
