dreambox 500s ethernet connection help!!

[ade786]

hi could you please help me with 1 question, well i had a dreambox 500s and the only way it connects to internet is when you keep it in the fridge for a good hour, but now it connects for 2 minutes, then stops the connection, i can see the ethernet light flashing inside the box, then it connects for 2 seconds then dies out

please help! as i have bought a 12 month c line

Try another power supply. Why would you stick it in a fridge?

Anyway try another power supply. Does it boot up ok etc? Is it just the LAN that is failing?

its going to cost more that getting a new one m8 , sounds like a dry solder joint to me , l would take the board out and look for joint , if u cant see it u could put board in oven wrapped in foil for 20 minutes ,, works on car ecu's and iphone boards ?

@cgscott i have tried another power supply and it booted up okay but still didnt connnect


@smirnoff_rules which joint? the one from the ethernet port to the actual board? hmm, dont you think that will mess up?

thanks for your input guys

apperntly ive heard that if you get a image from a working dreambox 500s and use that image to flash your own dreambox that might work?
any one going to lend me a working image with CCcam?

[davvo]

can you ping your box

[cgscott]

If your LAN is gone then nothing will work. Most images have cccam already in them.

I have a 500s here that the lans ~~~~ed on. NOt even looked at it to be honest.

my internet is working, i have connected my pc using ethernet and using laptop which is running on wifi
and need to get it sorted asap,and can you put your dreambox in the fridge for just over an hour and i will work, try it mate

[cgscott]

No. I have one running. Can you ftp to your dreambox?

[ade786]

nope, i used dcc to find out the ip got the ip and looked on the dreambox and the ethernet was dead, i was able to ftp like a few days ago, but i couldnt use it as my remote is dead, and checked today and it was frozen

[cgscott]

Maybe turn the temp down on the fridge if its frozen

On a more serious note it does sound like a board problem. I would either get someone to look at it or buy a new one.

dont know what the temp is on the fridge , and yea it probz is, might just get a openbox s10 next, cheapest hd receiver

cheapest yes they are that although a dm800hdpro is getting cheaper and a way better box worth the extra few bob imo
