Err 40 - Virgin media V+

[zxcvbnnm]

Everything was working perfectly, i was using a mosc and was recieveing all the channels, until today wehn it obviously restarted, and displayed Err 40.

I cant do anything but press rstart and the same code comes up again.
Now i want to know WHY this code has occured and HOW i can fix it.

Thankyou

was you using the stb in hdmi mode, and have you tried the settings in the eng menu..try pressing reset up/down and left at the same time and see what comes up on the lcd display

Yes i was using it in hdmi mode, I cant get to the eng menu, when i press reset up/down left and right all it displays on the lcd is id err 90. then when i let go of the buttons it goes back to err 40.

[spikebaby]

you need to reset the stb you can do it manually but its something how its described above will have a look and post later

[spikebaby]

A: Hold in the Stop and Play/Pause buttons on the front panel, and press Reset. Keep Stop and Play/Pause held in until the display says 'boot'.
After a few seconds the display should say 'outpt'. Press the Fast Forward button several times until the display says 'Sd', then press OK. Wait for the V+ to reboot then you should be back in SCART mode.

Thankyou spikebaby, The problem is now sorted.
However i think you were getting my problem mixed up with something else, The unit was meant to be in hdmi mode as im using it with my LCD TV via hdmi.

basically, through research i have gathered that err 40 means a bad flash, in other words, the 512 chip is loosly connected.

However, i dont know whhy this fixed the problem, But all i did was press reset up/down and left toghether (as suggested before) until it said boot and it booted. Now I dont know wether this is a permanent fix or not.
Normally this should not have fixed it as Err 40 strictly means the 512 is not connected properly.

Thanks for the help.

Have you read the tut on the mod lifting leg 7 on the chip to stop it keep going on a loop in hd mode ?

Hi,

yes pause and record will work, you don't need to pay any extra
