Starview HD Combo + LAN - RED&GREEN Light Only

[Kris_Stuart69]

All,

Looking for anyone who has or has had this same issue.

Think this happened after trying to load the new software from the toolbar.

On the Starview HD Combo + LAN all I get is the RED&GREEN Light Only on the front and the box does not boot.

I have downloaded the "HD300N_SC_RS232_1013" Firmware and loader and followed the instructions but it does not load to the box.

Anyone any ideas please.

THIS IS FOR THE STARVIEW HD COMBO + ONLY

IF YOURS DOES NOT HAVE A LAN PORT DO NOT USE THIS FIX!!!!!


You will need:

A computer with a serial port

A Null modem 9 pin serial cable (as used on the starview 1 - 3)

Connect the SV HD to the computer using the serial cable and attach to mains (leave turned off by switch on back)

UNZIP the file downloaded

open HD-200_Download.exe

Choose COM 1 (unless you have connected it to a different port)

Select software (HD300N_SC_RS232_1.bin)

Turn on receiver with rear switch

bar will start counting to 100%

WAIT UNTIL SOFTWARE SAYS COMPLETE!!!!

Turn off receiver and back on

P.S. This will also recover 'bricked' SVHD's (if there are any lights still on)

Once complete the receiver will be as factory provided.

If your Starview HD has lost its MAC address this is what you need to do next:

Go to accessory - network - ip config

Set IP to manual

You can now edit the MAC address back to the original receivers address - Your mac address is on a sticker inside the receiver (you can see it through the vents on the top)

apply then exit.

Then you can start from scratch loading which ever firmware you choose.

got this from another site dont know if its any good hope it helps

I have now tried the above again on a different PC and also using USB - Serial cable and it makes no difference. Does not load. Any other ideas?

you need to give more detail of what happens, error messages etc.

and are you using a null modem type rs232 cable

Select software (HD300N_SC_RS232_1.bin) is f/w for non lan starview

No error messages. When plugged in to TV the box does not boot.
When switched on all I get is a RED and GREEN light on the front t of the box.

I am using one of the cables you got when the old EV's were around so I believe it is a RS323 cable. Have tried this direct from the COMM port and via a USB to Serial Converter cable.

This is the F/W that is in the zip file I was advised to download.

Which F/W do you suggest?

[mikie8]

i would advise downloading a firmware which is compatible with your box .

so a firmware for the lan version would be correct if your box has lan . or non lan firmware if your box dont have lan .
