F5 recovery

After trying many times to recover a dead F5 and spending hours on this excellent Forum I read somewhere from a member of Digital Kaos who I will always be in his debt and I'm very sorry I don't who that member was but many thanks.
I was directed to this site and at my first attempt with their software problem sorted.

The 15 pin connector on your laptop is a monitor connector, not an RS232 serial connector.

Do you, or any of your mates have an older pc/laptop with a dedicated serial (9 pin) connector?

[water46]

Thanks for your response. Newbie at this but information use full
Is there another way of rectifying this problem

thank you

[P&D]

No the only way is like Hadron says above

Hi i recovered my dead skybox f3 using this software make sure you tick bootloader option and follow instructions i used latest firmware

Ive loaded this software but it keeps coming back to the e001 error??? do i need to load anything else?

[Celldweller]

Other than it having to be a RS232 Null Modem cable, are there any other specifics such as it having to be 9 pin?

[Celldweller]

Knew it wouldn't be long until I had to ask for help.

So I have got to

3. Run EromUpgrade.exe then check the
com port setting is correct

What Port do I need? Currently it is set on COM 1
Bits Rate: 115200
Parity: Even
Operation mode: Upgrade

This all correct?

Openbox s12 stuck on red light, I have tried all loaders and no luck. The ALI loader says receiving chunk and then times out. With the other loaders it connect some times with 'stb memory error' but that is only if I remove the rs232 connnection and replug, It never connects when I switch box off/on. Could it be hardware issue?
