you "dont" activate a new front panel m8, {the remote should work straight off} --------------------------have you checked the oscillating crystal on the mainboard yet ??----------i seem to remember telling you this a while back

take the metal caseing off the crystal m8{then try your remote}--------there's a good chance the crystal might be shorting out on the caseing------otherwise you will have to replace the crystal "its upto you if you want to swop the crystal from the virgin2000"
 
ok im guessing that ill have to desolder it from the bottom to swap em-removing the metal did nothing

Doubtful that this will work but won't hurt to try.Press OK, CURSOR UP and TV buttons together. These are the front panel controls used on the Pace 2000 to enable/disable the remote control operations.

By the way, are you using the correct remote for the 2000? The blue remote used for 4001 and 4010 won't operate a 2000.

the crystal is in the white box {common problem on the 2000s}


Hi benny, thanks for that, only if it's th processor will i be able to chane it. The remote light on box only comes on solid for a few sec's during bootup, then goes off, it does'nt flash or respond to remote after boot up, so according to your post it must be the processor, any suggestions.

dont think there's many people would tackle changeing the processor m8 {more or less an experts job}, try another crystal, "you might strike lucky"

its a lost cause if its the processor,"cost too much to repair"
 
I had this trouble a little while back and i just thought id say thanks to benny59 for his help, he was right it was the crystal and its sorted now ;)
Thanks mate.
Clive.
