DM800 keeps restarting while booting.

[Shouma]

Actually I am having now a very weird problem with my dm800 keeps restarting while booting..even before getting the please wait screen..and this problem is with all the patched images I have tried...and when i use an orginal one it opens and gets up the settings wizard screen and after i apply all the settings I get an error message "Hardware could not be verfied please contact Dreambox multimedia support"...tried to reflash patched images again..keeps restarting while booting..am stuck now..dont know now if it is a hardware issue like the internal flash of the dm or what...

Could anyone guess any solution?! thx loadz...

That?s happen because you have a dm800 clone.
Just find out what is the seconstage (69,70 or 72)it suports and put a patched image with the correct seconstage.

I had exactly the same problem which I have managed to fix.
After a few splashscreens the box would reboot. Tried re-flashing with different images etc still same problem. I guessed it was something to do with power fluctuation when the tuner was engaged.

As 2 previous bits of hardware I own (sky satellite box and panasonic HDD recorder) both had problems but were sorted by changing power capacitors I looked at the ones in the DM800.
Clones often use poor quality components.
There were 2 with bulging tops -(in the bank of 4 largest ones next to card reader) and the little one next to it - a sure sign they are on the way out or blown. Changed these (5 pounds from RS spares), re-flashed and its all working.

Not a difficult fix but you will need a soldering iron and especially a solder sucker to remove the old ones.
Good luck
