Pace 4001

[sqwidge]

Hello all yet again im after some advice, me mate has asked me to 'have a look' at his box for him and when you plug it in the led display just reads pace and stays there, i have tried the red jumper and booting holding down as you do for the 4001 and even done the power button trick but none work just comes on says pace and stays there, i even reseated the ribbons for the display as i read somewhere once that this can cause the problem but even that dont seem to work, this box was working fins up until 2 days ago and it just started doing it, all resistors etc seem to be intact although im no sparky, any ideas?

reflow the attys m8 not the best of jobs you realy need a hot air solder gun m8 to do it properly you could try a hairdryer

attys?? i know you have helped me millions since i started but this we never covered lol

[anndy1972]

dont know if this helps m8 but when they stuck in tune sometimes leaving it with no card in on stream for 20 minutes or so sets them going again

yea these boxes can take forever to come on, with these boxes its best to connect straight to cable feed with with no splitters ect.you could try if your not already mate

lol it dont even get as far as tune it says pace and stays there lol

so its a 'stuck in pace box' ,
What about removing the Simm(The part where led-Simm goes) & giving the contacts a little clean.
Or you could try a Cim(Where cable feed connects) from a working 4001(If you have one that is) to see if that works

hope you get it sorted bud,i know how difficult thes boxes can be

I changed the simm for another that i know works and still same problem, not sure what a cim is but id like to try that so if you could shed a lil light on it that would be great, what annoys me the most is that this box was working and then it just stopped

turn it off remove lid, use hairdrier on it must be hot then turn on box and report back

set it on the floor and jump on it as hard as you can ,then pour petrol over it light it up and watch it work


PACE 4001 are crap boxes i dont know why people waste there time on them bin it and tell him to get a new one they are not that dear and theres a whole range of better models to choose from lmao
