Help: SAGEM box - waiting for time

[svkhtn]

Hi,

I have my box run well for a couple of days. Suddenly, it stopped running and just said "waiting for time". I tried to flash it with different images but I got the same message.

I also tried to use the RF pass through. I can watch basic channels on my TV.
The box is Sagem 1x.

I attached the bootlog of the box here (the box with Nextgen 1x at the moment).

mgb, could you please read the bootlog? What do you think it goes wrong?
Anyone has any idea?

Thanks a lot,
SV

Some more info of the faulty dbox: BER = 26214, SNR = 29200, and SIG = 0.


I tried another box which is working fine from the same cable source. It has BER: 0-10, SNG: 63300, and SIG: 0.

I think maybe because the SNG of the faulty dbox is below 55000 and the BER is so high, there is no picture. Does anyone know how to fix it ?

Thanks!

Sounds like your tuner may just have gone... sometimes this happens after a few hours or days worth of use...

Thanks Liam, I thought so

I tried to open the box, removed the modem. However, the SNR went down to 21000-22000. Then, pluged it back, the SNR is still 21k-22k.

I tried to remove the cable feed (i.e. no cable plugging in), the same BER, and SNR (i.e. 26214 and ~22000 respectively). I think with or without the cable feed, the diagnosis was the same. It made me think the the turner has gone

After leaving it scan for a while, now the SNR went up to 45000-49000 (BER still the same). I am not too sure why (?). Maybe it is warm up (??).

PS. When I opened the box, I noticed there were some marks/written words on the tuner. I think the german tried to mark something there.

Post the german words.
Maybe the tuner was marked as faulty from a premiere engineer.
Such boxes came on the market during the premiere stock clearing last year.

The german marks have no meaning and are faded. It is something like "BR... V1...".

The marks look like labels for hardware versions.
Try ucode version 001A for your sagem.
