Device stopps booting... Anybody know that problem? Connection via DreamUp also not possible, stopps with "acknowledge..."

[Bonesy]

have you tried reflashing it holding in the power button while putting power to the box force the webflashing???

[boesl]

Hy,

yes today. Tried to flash Gemini 4.4 and 4.5 again, but same problem, holds at booting.

I think there is nothing I can do, I've to talk to my seller, or any other suggestions?

[Manic01]

Tried dreamup?

[boesl]

see above
not possible too. First it says "uploading flash-loader...", then it stopps at "upload completed, waiting for acknowledge"

I can wait ages, nothing further happens...

...Connection via DreamUp also not possible, stopps with "acknowledge..."

[Manic01]

Sorry never read it all .

[boesl]

I know, it's my first time too and I already had a lot of clones in my hands...

maybe it's because of a broken tuner or something else, that device stopps booting?

[shlmn]

Might be a tuner problem.
Does it stuck around the 'b' letter? If so, try remove the tuner and see if you can boot.

[boesl]

It's also not booting without tuner, but should it? I'm not sure...
I'm going to return the device to the seller, it' better I think.

Hi Guys,

I have a similar problem with my Dm800 (clone). It's been working fine for the last 6 months, but today refused to boot. I've tried reflashing (using Nabilosat), but it gets stuck on booting with the loading bar not going past the "b"

Based on a comment above, I tried removing the tuner and the box boots all the way, indicating the problem is probably the tuner.

So, my question is, what now, can it be repaired or where can I get a new one? Could it be something else besides the tuner?

Looking forward to your replies

[fay28]

hi guys

i had the same problem not longago, it refused to boot. as it got stuck on booting with the loading bar not going past the "b"

when I removed the tuner and the box booted all the way, indicating the problem was the tuner.

get a new tuner or return to seller

[Wingnut]

did u try boot with tuner in and no cables connected, like the dvi cable, as this happened to me and it booted fine when i took dvi cable out,it ended it the dvi cable was faulty and not the tuner,

[owenc]

Yeah, undid all cables, still won't boot with tuner in, guess I need a new tuner.

Any UK suppliers I can get one from?

[SAFC_FTM]

same here, uk supplier of tuner required.

anyone?

[Muzzy25]
