Spent most of the day yesterday messing around with 5 dm800's, mainly to swap over rev J \ K tuners with the L3 tuner.
What I noticed was that on some of the 800's i changed, the boxes would reboot soon after the boot screen. At first I thought the tuners were not sitting correctly, so I double checked and tried again and same problem.
So i thought maybe could be a sim issue and tried 69\70\2.01, same problem. So then i thought could be image problem, tried gemini, dreamelite and PLI, same problem. By now I'm thinking ok i got some faulty L3 tuners, So I pulled out my main 800 clone that I had put a L3 tuner in back in May and tested it and tried the tuners, they all boot and work fine. ( more about that at the end).
I then went back tried the L3's in the boxes and same thing, constant reboot, so I put the rev J tuner in the boxes and they boot fine, no problem. Weighing up everything I could only come to the conclusion that the mainboard was the problem. So I opend up all 5 boxes and noted all 5 said Revision J on the mainboard. 3 of the 5 boxes would keep rebooting and 2 were fine with the L3. I did note however that the 2 that booted fine had fan pins in different locations to the 3 that didnt. The 2 that booted fine had the fan pin just above the heat sink, where as the 3 I had problems with had the pins by the internal usb slot. I have stuck two photos up of the boards. Hope this is of help. L3GOOD being the board that worked with it.
BTW. this L3 tuner rumour that it fixes the Discovery HD glitch seems to be untrue !! Tried at least 6 different houses with various boxes all with the same result, including changing the echo number.
Thanks
