Is my DM800HD Dead? Experts needed!

[JaySTROKE]

Hi all,

Need some expert guidance.

My DM800HD stopped switching on. There is power going to it, fan still working and Ethernet LED's still on. But nothing on LCD and more importantly no TV

I have stripped it down and removed and cleaned everything. When I try to connect to it via DreamUp it only connects once in every 50 attempts. When it does finally connect it uploads the flash and then stalls. Status - "upload completed, waiting for acknowledge..." I then can't connect to it again for ages, it seems hit and miss.

I like to think I know my way about dreamboxes, but this has me stumped. Is it time to buy a new one, or is there some way of fixing it?

All help and advice greatly appreciated.

Have you tried a new power supply?

[lombard]

have you tried pulling out power and re applying it fast ? try it a few times , have a box that just the same, when i pull power and re apply it works

[JaySTROKE]

Yep several, I don't think it's a power issue.

Yeah, tried it at all different speeds.

Have you tried using the web interface method for flashing the dm800 just to see if it is picking up an ip address of any kind? You would have to check the router to see if its picked up the ip address since your lcd is not working.

mines the same u can pull out and put in 20 times and nothing happens then all of a sudden it works . keep your finger on the power button and as soon as it comes on leave your finger on the button still u see the word stop and flash from its webpage ,, and put blackhole on it too . its the best image l think

Not showing on the router, nothing on LCD beginning to think the board is ~~~~ed!

When it does connect it only seems to work with version 1.3.3.5

What is the latest version and where do I get it?

Cheers

Think i would try the tried and trusted 1.3.3.4 but i know there are loads of versions out there and ive seen 1.3.3.7.
If you google you will probably find more and theres that enforcer program you could try or if you have a spare Dreambox connect with that first then swap.

Hi mate,

Got the 2nd method to connect once, but when I tried to flash it is stuck on "calculating checksum" hit disconnect and back to square 1, not connecting.
