Does anyone know how to do a jtag to Solo2 clone?

My cousin bricked his Solo 2 Clone (V2),he told me he was installing a settinglist,then there was a tuner problem and after that the unit frooze,he did make a hard restart but since then the box woulnt start...There is no "starting" on the display,actualy there is nothing on the display,the purple buttons stays death..if you push the purple button,its lights up like starting but nothing happens...I used several USB sticks...Use other powercables...nothing..

Didnt @ali got this situation eralier...ive also tryed to unplug the +5 jack on the motherboard...still nothing...Think Jtag is the only sollution...

Anyone has a idea?

The fan doesnt turn and also there is no red light...iv tryed VU Utill but no succes...Its not switching...there is purle light and this blinks if u push it but there is no action or whatsever...

No unfortunatly there is no way to jtag the solo2 mentioned in youre pdf and the solo2 is not working with vu utill...could anyone tell me the importance of the Front USB jack?My cousin broke one of the wires (red) but this wouldnt be the reason for not starting i think (see picture)usbjack.jpg
 
So, If a solo2 becomes bricked its a point of no return?
 
No you can return it,but unfortunatly you have to pay the transport AND the tax agaien when they send u another one or repaire it...so mostly its mutch cheaper to get it repaired here..

I realy dont understand how that guys has fooking up this unit...unbelievable...


Now if i hard reset it fast after a few times the purple light on front lights up like starting...but it doesnt start and the display stays blank...and after a minute or 2 the purple light gest dark again..


Anyone idea?

Just for ur help and information i have copied ur post in mail to that techincal adviser who had given me the tip to discharg caps at usb ports. just wait and see what she says . Actually i want to know any one can face that kind situation then what to do in this critical condition . thats why i have written mail to her few mints before and pasted ur problem in it . hope for the best
 
I'm sure my old duo wouldn't boot if I disconnected the front usb.

Thank u @Ali ...@iamatheaf you might be right i am going to try later with my own box hy plugging that jack off an try to restart it


Edit...no if you pull the jack out it restarts normaly..so thats not the answer..the strange thing if you put a ethernet cable in to it the lights are blinking red and orange but the SPDIF red light is not .... tommorow im going to show this to a elektricien

Again,this is the thing:

-.Power button is lighted and works if you push it,
-.But there is no Display,nothing att all!,
-.Fan is NOT working,
-.SPDIF light is not working,
-.Ethernet is working but there is no connection possible via DCC or VU UTILL,
-.If you install a HDD its working and spinning,

This a realy challenge to make this bricked unit working again,and i am sure this there will be,unfortunatly,more Solo2`s have this problem,cause there are a lot of them on teh internet and the funny part is that most of them arent a clone ;-)


And i am 101% the sollution is there with the producers,but they dont make this,for a reason i dont understand,not public

So thats we have to try everything

take lid off
get a hair dryer and heat up the board
if it comes on you have a dead capacitor

trust me this works
 
Unfortunatly heating up the mainboard didnt helped...i did heat up whole mainboard but it didnt start

Yes @Ali i let the unit blankc without power/lnb/av and USB...I downloaded BH 2.0.6 from oure downloads...Put this on a fresh FAT32 formatted (and working with my own Vu Solo2 Clone) USB and put this in the Bricked Solo2,i put the Powercable and swittcehd on...And nothing happens

first unbricked the box in this way:
1. I connecect the box switched off to pc with real serial port by nullmodem cable (Pinout 2-3 3-2 5-5)
2. I clicked on update.exe
3. switched on the box (my dos screen was black!!!)
Immediatly VDF display showed before "Starting" and "afterVU+ SOLO2"
 
Ok u did this with original rs232 cable came with solo2 or another cable..and what was the os on the pc
 
for unbrick the box I used nullmodem cable (not cable in the packagin of box)
I used a old laptop (Win XP) with real serial port
