Locked me TM6900 super

[mclud]

Tried uploading the latest Technomate update software and locked the box. When on the box says - Technomate, no TV picture, but blue light.

Hear I have to unlock via a serial cable - can someone talk me through the process??

Please.........thx

1) Download latest patch for your model
2) unzip/unrar patch
3) Open Darkman loader 187
4) locate the file you have just downloaded
5) click connect
6) switch your reciever off at the back
7) switch it back on again
8) loading will start automaticaly

This may have to be done a few times till it actually loads but it will definately load and then all will be ok again.

this is how to do a forced download.
*****************************
if you have a bad download or your receiver locks up this is how to clear the problem, you can only do this procedure with a [null modem cable] if your model has a [usb port], this wont work useing a [memory stick]
first turn the receiver off with the switch on the rear panel of your receiver. next connect your null modem cable from your computer 9 pin com port to the rs232 port on the receiver, you can now use either the official opperating software from technomate.com or load the latest patch for your model, after loading the software on the v187 loader and you click connect when the darkman v1.87 loader asks connect the receiver and turn it on
go to the receiver and turn it on again with the switch on the rear panel turning the receiver on at the rear will force the download and clear the problem caused by any incomplete downloads or faulty patches etc:.
after the download has fully loaded the box should now boot and work normally and the channels open
*****************************
some take the lnb cable from the receiver before doing this download if you remove the lnb cable make sure the receiver is turned [off] before you [remove or re-connect the lnb cable].

Thanks to both of you......managed to get it going last night with the serial cable and the darkman loader.

What would we do without the knowledge and support from our friends here on the forums....

thanks again.
