Hi guys. First post here and I think its a cracker to get your brains working.
I've posted this on a few boards and still not managed to solve it. SOme of you mat have even read it before.
Basically what it is is I did my first pace box last week. I've done sammys before with no problem.
I got the box up and running fine at my place and gave the box to a mate. Initially he had no problems with it but later that night when surfing through channels they would stop loading eventually leading to the box freezing.
Switching the box off at the mains sorted the problem temporarilly but after a while the same happened again.
I have since redone his card with the new fun au image and tried it at mine. Same problem. So i managed to rule out the card image and the signal problem.
I opened the box, pulled the red jumper, tried again and still the same problem.
I then booted up holding the services button, still the same.
I have re jtagged the box to make sure the bk and ird are good.
After some advice I tried redoing the image. Nae good.
Tried a tit2 card. Still nae good.
Sat with a magnifying glass checking the board for bad solder. All looked good.
The lads on the other boards still think that it is an image problem but I'm not sure. The problems started on sunday night, before the new keyroll. On thursday I got the card through to the bloke and still the same problem.
Another lad says that the box might be overheating but this can happen as the box is booted and you skip through the channels.
After a few days of bashing this about I think that it may be the card reader but then again I'm very green at this cable stuff.
Has anyone any ideas?
Is it as I fear a knackered box beyond repair.
