Starveiw 3 Box Super Rebooting

[cunny]

Hi guys

Got a starveiw 3 here, uploaded new firmware to it, its just crashing and rebooting now, not sure as state before hand.

I have reset it, just reflashing it now. i have also left it without tuning it in for 3 hours and seemed fine, as soon as i tune it in, it starts to crash and reboot.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this???

Forgot to mention i have a starveiw 2 on the same connection that is fine

cunny try switching the box on and off from the back of the box m8 when you put it back in to tv. this has been known to work.. good luck

Yeah just finished reflash now, just out of interest, how do we check for clones if its a clone?

original s/v 3 has 7 vents along and 25 deep m8

[cunny]

so if its a clone, how do i go about sorting this out, or would the update just have failed?

an sv4 i've got,has 7x25 vents. read somewhere else that if its got a silver heat sink about vent 5 its a clone. mine is like this..ynwa...

[cunny]

its no clone but the reflash and its still the same

check out the c11 cap on the psu board m8 to see if it is bulging on top ,if so change it .

[cunny]

cap??

It only crahes/reboots when i plug the cable (virgin line) in also thats fine on the starveiw 2 i have

[cunny]

I have now downgraded the firmware on it now, gonna see how it reacts on older f/ware

[smoggy]

if it is a seperate connection from where you have the SV2 plugged in check your SV2 on it (could be bad connection shorting signal)
see what its like if you connect up from loop out of SV2 into SV3.
or try going back to an older firmware and see what happens

[cunny]

its the same connection an the s/v 2 is fine on it

[smoggy]

I would try going back to an older firmware, then if the problem is still there you know it is probably a box problem and not the firmware.
you could also redownload the firmware just to make sure you didn.t get a bad download

[cunny]

ok now i have hit another snag, does anyone know of a way to udate these boxes via vista/win 7?

Thanks to everyone who helped me out on this, it turned out to be the signal into the house, i have checked at another point and its working fine on the older firmware.

Again big thanks to everyone who helped out.
