[DM800HD] Wont take images

[Mark_The_Yid]

Hi guys

I am trying to revive an old dm800 with a sensible image but for some reason it seems to only take older images. Any reason it wont load newer images? can get an old openpli 2.1 to load but openpli 4.0 etc wont. Think it wont take ssl84d images

Well you will need to flash the 84d bootloader first then an 84d image.

[alimac]

Are these images flashing just not booting ?

On your front display at what oint does the boot process stop ?

Based on how I remember it should work (been a long while)it opens on sim 201 screen but seems to sit on this screen a bit longer than norm. It then goes completely blank and red led flashes a few times and then does nothing. It does not get as far as the progress bar screen

but I've not posted in any other thread :err:

That image does not load either. I have installed the correct bootloader haven't I?

 

[alimac]

you have yes
only you know what bootloader you used

 

[Mark_The_Yid]

The bootloader I used was the one I posted a link to in post 4.

I'm still puzzled about this other thread I'm supposed to have posted in ...

 

[alimac]

pretty sure was this one although now gone

that aside are you sorted with regards image

 

[Mark_The_Yid]

No mate. Cant get any to work. Driving me batty now :arrrr:

 

[alimac]

if you have bootloader 84 & flashing newer images & fails looks like you have a hardware issue

 

[Mark_The_Yid]

Give up and buy a new one then

Saves on the headache lol

 

[Ferret]

Just try another PSU before you do that.

 

[alimac]

nope try sort it is the game for me

 

[Mark_The_Yid]

Ah now that's an interesting post ferret. This started when my solo2 went tits up and I happen to have the dm800 plugged into the same psu....
