hi mate , i looked on underside of psu , and pins with no power (green lines above) are not soldered underneath , this leads me to believe to they are not required and dont need power , all other 6 pins (red above in photo) are soldered and live , so i assume the part is in working order

btw , thanks wortho but i tried every combo of f/w loaders inc the digiworld one you refering too , thanks anyhow

just a thought m8, when you start the procedure with box switched off at the back select firmware and include bootloader when you click on next switch on the box at the back, ive heard various timings may help when switching on and also when you switch on give it a while to work. hope this helps m8

[southpaw]

oh well , i gave this box another go today and still the little ~~~~er wont connect , i am a broken man , i hate being beaten by somethin like this , but nevertheless , beaten i am ,

anybody have any ideas what i can use it for , was thinking of putting a piece of perspex in it , sealing it up , add soil an worms and voila... a openbox wormmery ,

Southpaw I worked a whole week getting my s10 to load with same error you have. A couple of things I found may help you. Microsoft dropped support of comm port direct null modem connections on Windows 7 and Vista. I quit my Vista machine and used an old Windows 98 machine comm port, windows XP will also work. Set up comm baud rate, parity, bits,flow control, and stop to match the exe prog. I used a 3 wire null modem cable 2&3 switched and 5 as common. When you unzip your loader program execute the exe file in the same folder as the other files that came with it. I was trying to execute it from my desktop which would not work. Try these it worked for me after working 120 hours on it. I may need a new on off switch but persistence pays off.

Also I found you can use Windows Vista if you get a Vista usb to serial special cable, and setup a virtual comm port that way. I dont know if it will work but finding a old Windows 98 machine was easier for me. I believe most boxes can be reflashed if one has all the information. Good Luck

I m facing this problem after last night thunderstorm.everything was ok for me since 10 months.my s9 is not clone.now after attempting 100 times box not conecting to pc.i m using xp.

Hay guys I have a problem all so I have a box witch will flash 100% but when I restart the box it vows back to ON any one now how to fix this Fult ?

Hi guys

My s10 went down three weeks ago. No display. The power was OK but screen flickering. This happened after power cable was accidentally unplugged. But yesterday i decided to power it and viola it came back to life but stack on the blue screen. I restarted it again and this time it was fully alive again. But since i did not trust its firmware, I decided to flash it but i think i did it wrong because it went from stuck to "ON" and now its back to where it was three weeks ago. "NO DISPLAY and no sign of LIFE". I made a full handshake null modem cable and tried the flashing procedure and different timing but the "SET STB MEMORY ERROR" keeps coming. I later opened the box and realised you actually don't need any hand shaking at all a THREE wire null modem is sufficient.

As at this moment i am still trying to revive the s10 clone from china or my be just leave it for another three weeks and hope it comes back to life again. Option two JTAG which seems a little more cumbersome.

jtag

Option two JTAG which seems a little more cumbersome.

s10 has no jtag port.
s9 was the last model to have one.

so many trial 'next'... but no luck..
always got stb memory error on sktbx F3..
used tool EromUpgrade 2.0.0c 2009-05-22
on w7 & XP PC direct com + null..
still same error...

[amos]

In the exact same dilema as southpaw, my S10 stuck `on'. I've tried every loader available but no joy. All day trying different things, nothing! Anyone??

[slugworth]

only one loader works,the 2.0.0c that you choose the file on the 1st screen when you run the program.
