er16 code & then ap52??? - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Hmm, was moving some wires the back of the tv & the Pace Virgin Media box went off.

When I tried to put it back on it came up er16.

My modem is split off the same splitter, so I took the modem off & connected wire straight from the wall socket into the Box & when it booted up it got as far as the ap52 code.

Left it for 10 minutes & eventually it went to the channels but it was just a black screen with no picture.

Anybody know whats going on or how to correct this?

Talkback is cut by the way.

check your signal strenght in techical stuff or in eng menu.

Will try that shortly, & if it's low (like it sounds like it is) is there anything at all I can do to correct it?

It was working perfectly before I knocked the wires....

what box is it ?, if there is a signal prob then something to do with the tuner or ur line.

One of those boxes ^

Incidently I have another box upstairs (talkback also cut) that is working fine & also the 20MB internet is also working fine.... so it must be a problem with the box itself surely?

have you checked the signal strenght, probably something with the tuner its located inside the box, i meant what model number is it.

Is that easy for somebody who is not very good at doing these things to do?

What would I need to do?

Check the cable that goes from the little white box on the wall to the box-it has a screw connector(F Plug) both ends-make sure its well on the cable and screwed in tight both ends
