Hello,

I thik my SEC chip has gone faulty, reding the forums.

Just wondered is there any thing else I can try before replacing the chip.

I had read to use camd2 instead but not sure what to do.

I have the read i/o error in bootlog.

I guess the chip is an essential part of the system and theres no backup chip that I can point the software to.

Sorry if the posts a bit confusing.
 
Select camd2 in the camd menue, dissable all other camd's, reboot and check the boot log again.
 
Cheers.

I guess this is image specific as the image at moment hasnt got that menu,

could you advise of an image that does so I can test, cheers.
 
Try a boxcracker image i think they have
camd3 in them.
 
I have read this article, but it doesnt suggest what else this problem could be, just that the SEC chip didnt fix it in there case.

Any ideas?
 
post a bootlog,
why do you think the sec chip has gone ?
I get errors on my dodgy sagem but it still plods on.

Have Fun
 
Will post bootlog asap, need to dig out null modem cable.

Have been advised to try deej boxcracker but cant find image, well i can but seems old link.
 
boxcracker 3.5 head is not deejs image.
I can't remember what his is called, try sending him a pm i think he is still active. deej's is a much newer more updated image than 3.5 head.

Have Fun
 
from other forum

"i have a m8 with 1xsagem that will only work useing the boxcracker blue peer image modded by de deej"

This is what im looking for or perhaps liams enigmax, will try anything at moment.

Might send DeeJ a PM
 
have you tried the pbenigma it's very stable on my dodgy sagem
I just prefer neutrino.

Have Fun

.
 
I think de_deej wanted all the images he modified removed from the forum.

You might get it on other forums.

mgcamd was selected but there is no mgcamd in /var/bin.
Upload mgcamd to /var/bin and set the rights to 755 or select a valid camd.
 
Have tried pbenigma,

All images I have tried work fine except no channels.

On scanning with various methods, it will find transponders but no channels.

Think it may be the SEC chip but should I look anywhere else, could it be the tuner. The signal etc seems ok but I know thats not to trustworthy.

HELP please
