Hi All,
My Friend has DM500s, he connected to mains using wrong polarity and fried the box, I have since got hold of it and got the box up and running again and have flashed it with Darkstar 2... My issue is it wont see the remote (the remote is sending out a signal)as checked with basic mobile phone camera test. I have replaced the IR PCB Circuit board but still nothing.
The system is coming up with Darkstar logo and asking for system setup ie Pal setting, I cant do anything because of remote issues. I have also tried a different 500s remote.
I have seen somewhere that this can be bypassed via pc connection or channels can be change via a pc.
Some might say just buy another box not the issue at the moment I have the holidays in the way of anything being delivered so I may as well mess with it..

Any help would be great..
