how can u tell its a clone box ?

usual tell tale sign is a heat sink on the processor, others are on the power supply and a connector on the main board.

Anything above V1.07 will kill a clone, try earlier revisions by all means. But are you sure the Max232 flash is successful?

yes the flash is succesful, it displays dialogue box on the screen, and the box reboots itself after 30 secs or so. i have v1.06 shall i try that?

[satsmo]

No harm but I would try the FTA only bin first, I have attached it, unpack and try it. You seem to fix a few boxes is this a dud from ebay or elsewhere?

[superbaby]

yes its a dud but not from ebay as you cant sell them any more on there...i'll try this file ou have suggested. will let you know.

[satsmo]

I would also look for dry solder joints around the molex headers, maybe the TSOP was already lifted?

[superbaby]

do you have to input codes manually for v1.06? i think this version has worked...fingers crossed! i'll check dry for joints.

[satsmo]

Yes as from memory it is from V1.07 onwards that it AUs. If you used the FTA only bin I gave you there will be no emu so you cannot enter keys.

i thnink v1.06 beta is working ok...however i have to enter keys manually. thanks for your help Satsmo.
