faulty max v 2008

[patch]

if i have a max v 2008 (black) and it wont work and i put a new psu in it , will i need to j tag it as well or not , thanks

[gadgetfiend]

probably but cant really tell as "wont work" covers a lot of problems m8......lol

[patch]

i dont know myself exactly as i was going to buy one cheap thats advertised as faulty and have a go at fixing it myself , its just that i struggled last time i tried to j tag one . but if its a c14 prob or pcu i think i could manage that . thanks

I think tbh the c14 popping is quite unusual on a max v units and the fact you've put a new psu rules that out as the fault anyway. It deffo sounds like it may need jtagging m8

no i havent bought the box yet i was just thinking of getting it if its cheap enough but didnt fancy struggling j tagging it if it needs it after fitting a new psu

Ive just jtagged one back to life for a m8

He said it never needed the keys manually updating but the firmware on it was september 07 WTF

The pixilation is now unbearable with the 8% problem!!

Tried the 8% firmware but made no difference whatsoever

Any suggestions

how much is it going for as ill poss want it pm me m8

[gadgetfiend]

The jtagging process is quite simple m8, it may have been a problematic box that you had before and thats whats putting you off. I get what you were asking originally now and usually it will be 1 fault or the other very rarely both will need doing but you wont know for certain it may be neither of the faults mentioned and the mainboard could be knackered altogether. Its a decision your going to have to take based on the asking price if its worth risking.

[gadgetfiend]

try the no autosort f/w ronster.

I'll give it a go later m8

just seen your post over on AF
Fix for 1st Gen maxv's with tuner problems after flash !
1: do a factory reset
2: reflash unit with the (MAX V KURO BETA WS SB) from the d/l section
3: once flashed switch on signal booster within TV settings then flash your cdf or do a scan cdf is best if you have 1.
4: edit keys manually if needed and check premium channels arent pixelating or missing, if ok move on to next step.
5: repeat step 1
6: flash with kuro 3 fix 18-4-08
7: repeat step 3

Is there much success from this method?
