Hi to all,
I have just purchased a technomate tm500 box twin scart version only had this for 3 days and loaded some software (cccam2.1.4 and tm500 ur image) not sure which one orginally. All working fine decided to do full factory reset and now will not bootup, front panel display just keeps rolling with ur team message on tv screen for 5 or 6 seconds then reboots does this over and over again no channel nothing wont even let me do an update. I turn off the power hold ok turn on comes up with upgd on display 2 seconds later error what a mess!!! i`m using tcc 7.1. Would be very greatful if anyone could help what to do, direct me to the right place. Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. Iv`e followed what you have said after several attempts came up on screen with technomate logo left corner and a line with
u-boot 1.1.2 (TUXBOX) Oct 13 2009-19:09.35)
i then uploaded the ur image file 20/04/2010 5.94mb
once upload completed message read on box display panel eras then flash 5 seconds later done turned box off, powered back on and still same displays the underground resistence team splashback then reboots over and over again.
Is this the correct file i`m using + am i supposed to load something else with the image file ?
is there a master reset so i can store it back to its orginal maunfactures state.

Thanks
 
Hi, Doing exactly as the tutorial. Now and then can get to upload the ur image files but after reboot its back to square one. Just ur team screen and reboots. I opened the box just to check if any jumpers to reset box but nothing. I did notice the motherboard says tm600 panel ??? Anyway anything else i can do? + which ur image file should i be loading ? with tcc 7.1 do these files have evrything in them to make the box boot ?

Hi its basically as manic01 says but this is what my dear son did

1/ turn off the box by the rear switch
2/ press and hold in the ch+ (up button) on the front panel.
3/ switch power back on by the rear switch button whilst holding in the ch+ (up button) for a few seconds. Front panel display will be blank release the ch+ (up button) pull the scart lead out from the back of the box then re-insert scart back into same slot. This will then show a picture on tv screen loading the factory reset, once completed it will reboot and is back to the orginal manufactures state where you will have to manually set the language, time, dish settings and retune all the channels etc.

Hope that helps.

All the best
