i have left jumper of for 24 hrs and made no difference
im goosed and its a box for the kids to watch cartoons on

You first need to enter your net id before your box can download the platform.
A test sim would fix this, its not an led plug n play sim ok this looks like the sim you already have plugged in at the front of the box but its been made to take over from the mother board and gain access to the EM for changing net id and freq and pin etc but if your not up to removing chips and making one you could try the net id setting funcard.

hi thanks for the reply where can i get one of these from thanks

I wouldnt know anyone who sells them mate, I'm more of your DIY kinda guy who enjoys making my own gadgets up and not paying if possible, not cause I'm cheap lol cause I find it more rewarding to know the only thing I got from anyone else was the info which was free and I did it all myself.
Try programing a net id funcard setter first, thats easier.

im pretty handy myself with a soldering iron but i havnt got a clue where to start on this one

You can set the net-id on pace1000's with a serial lead and windows, can't remember the name of the proggy though...eeek... someone will chime in hopefully.




ahhh, Libdebug is the proggy an your also need the 1000/2000 config file.

hi i have been messing with the box again today and no luck i left the jumper off the box for 24hrs made no difference
i am now trying it plugged in with the jumper off overnight
anyone else any ideas
just need to get into engineers menu

You might be able to get it to stop trying to update so you can set the NetID and frequency using the skip update method.

Power on holding the [Standby] button in, when 'OKAY' appears use the buttons to the right of the display to put 2321 in. Press [OK] and immediately press and hold [UP] and [DOWN] as you would to enter the menu.

I can't remember what they do exactly, I think it changed but the box may appear to do nothing. Keep the buttons presses for a while longer and power off and then on. Again holding trying to access the menu using [UP] and [DOWN].

They used to reset and boot to the menu otherwise.

Hi m8
Having cable feed connected take the jumper off, Rub the soldering wire on the legs of nvram chip. put back the jumper and power up. If it didn't work the first time try this process for atleast 3 to 4 times. It should start updating.

hi where exactly is the nvram chip i just cant see it thanks for reply
i just cleaned the complete board with circuit board cleaner .
the only thing i did notice when checking the board more closely there is a small blue circuit board that looks like an add on its located on u900
