Openbox s11 hard reboot results in constant rebooting

[orinoco]

So you are not rebooting the boxes at all? What if you want need to reboot do you still have the reboot issue?

The only solution is to leave unplugged for a couple of hours. This on all my s11 10AA boxes has sorted the reboot problem.

One has been running perfect for 2 weeks now, only switched to standby at night but never switched off from the mains.

The other has been fine since Wednesday and I have been switching off from the mains at night. In the morning it is perfect.

i had this problem and the only way i found was to remove sat feed and the factory reset then reflash with latest fw it lasted about a week then started to do it again so returned it got refund and bought vu+ solo best thing i ever did

[orinoco]

Having exact same issues, with the reboot loop driving me mad, I have changed everything from ethernet cable to sat cable hdmi cable lnb, still the same

No solution in sight

Well its still doing it on the newer updated firmware so that rules that one out for me.

The chip thingy was 10aa iirc

Bloody thing does my nut in

sad

Ok il try getting it changed :-) thank you

the sad part is,they way they have been naming firmware lately the only real way of knowing the release date is loading the firmware then looking at the receiver info screen.

have you tried factory default and then just scanning for the channels, instead of loading any channel lists by usb.

and just make sure you got the correct firmware on, since you have tried loads of them m8.

try the OCTOBER firmware, then factory default, then just try scanning for channels

Federer16, yes mate I have done that, it is running the 17.11.11 firmware which when looked at in the info screen shows 22 oct, and then just a channel scan and i can still make it do the reboot loop.

Maybe its just one of those things that I have to live with, and I can solve it by just leaving the box unplugged for about 30 mins.

I take it no-one else has had any problems like this?

Slugworth I dont think it is anything to do with heat, the other box is ontop of my av amp and has been on for 10 days, no problems at all.

The only thing i might have done different from anyone else is that after i flash a channel list i switch the unit off to reboot it rather than just doing a soft reboot from the remote.

After the reboot last night the box i have been playing with has been fine and i can access/change anything I want as some channels have changed and have been updating my favourites.

acts

see if it acts up when warm.

[digi666]

Top of the receiver hot?
maybe a heat problem?

No I dont think so, its not hot just warm and its sitting on an oak floor with nothing within 2m of it

update.. Just pulled the plug and left off for 20 mins. All working as it should be now. No rebooting loop
