hello, i have some 250 modems and some of them looks to work fine, but
have one, when im connecting by max going to option 1, 2, p when pres p nothing happend, it's just keep booting till finish, never have this prob before, think that modem could get new upgrade? i had some modems when option 1, 2, p not appear on screen so i know that this one have to be done by lifting a chip. anyone answer?

Yeah, Thats Right the Modem has took the NEW Firmware (ALEX), You need to lift the chip and re-flash it.. Hope that helps??

i know firmware made by Alex, but on this modem i have some old 1, from 2004 and it is not Alex i'm sure, so that i'm confused. as i said i have some option to choose (1,2,p) but when press any key it didn't works

The only round it then is to lift the chip and re-flash it!!!

Not really understanding what u on about, u say that it keeps running when you try and press the P option, Then u say that you know the ALEX Firmware... Well what it will keep doing if it has took the alex firmware, it will load but when you try and press the P option it just keeps loading and goes on scanning freq at the bottom of hyperterminal!!!!

I said that i know how Alex firmware looks like, so that what ive got now is strange because the 1, 2, p are showing on screen but when press something it keeps running, the firmware is from april 2004 and it;s not alex.

maybe somebody know what i'm talking about?

Try HTPE (hyperterminal personal edition) or Putty, if you cant press P on them then you will have to lift the TSOPs...

bartski · 21-05-08, 07:34 PM

yeah, putty show me the same problem, it could be hardware fault not a software, have a look on this log

check your rs cable is on the right way round

badboy123 · 22-05-08, 09:13 AM

If you assume its a hardware fault try a different MAX on a different computer.

bartski · 22-05-08, 07:54 PM

huh

cable was in good way, RX was damaged, fix now and it's working fine now, i could seen what happening with modem when booting but couldn't send anything cause rx wire. cheers guys.
