Hi all

Have had my dbox II running for a few weeks now. Today i switched on and although the lcd screen does the usual loading neutrino etc ,no start image appears and no picture just a blank screen.It seems to be running ok i can see the channels,dbox menu etc on the lcd screen but not the telly.Any ideas?
 
The cable feed has'nt popped out has it
If its a sporster image
press blue
press blue and wait
press green and wait then
press red and wait this will restart evocamd
but rebooting does this aswell,
worth a shot if it dont work
get back blank screen and
press red then blue and post you ber snr and sig levels if they will appear on the screen.
You could always flash another image on
Hope this helps.
 
Cheers But no joy.I'm using gav's image from last month(windows xp image).Stream information was blank.I thought about flashing a new image but i've been using flash fxp to do it manually and it's a lot easier if u can see the dbox menu on the telly.Couldn't get ifa or dbox command to work for me.
 
Tried reflashing my old image on to the dbox but still the same.I notice that the time on the lcd starts from 01:00 and the programme status bar on the lcd has a line diagonally across instead of showing the time/length of it
 
stupid question have you checked all of your scart connections ??

de_deej
 
Yeah i tried different scart and tell,the signal's fine as i tried a mates dbox which worked ok.It did the same the other day but it eventually started proper.The only thing i can think is the scart connection to the board inside...This is doin my head in!!!
 
How do i check the log using a null modem? I manually ftp the image using flash fxp as i can't get ifa to work cheers

It looks like there is something wrong with the avs (AudioVideoSwitch). There is a crash after Using /lib/modules/2.4.31-dbox2/misc/avs.o If avs is faulty the scart sockets cannot work.
 
Thanks mgb

Is there any way i can replace this file to a working version
 
The problem is not the file, the problem is the chip on the mainboard that the driver cannot overtake.
Maybe you destroyed that chip by twiddling with the scart plugs on a powered box.
 
thanks mgb

Is it worth trying to get this repaired or would i be better off getting a new dbox
