i have led simmed the box twice to check i have the correct ird and bk

i then program a card as normal (done 1000's b4)

and its saying sorry your smart card isnt inserted properly . . .bla bla bla

card is 100% in properly and ive tried a couple or differant cards.

I go into engineers menu, freq and net id is correct
but under card status or wot eva it is, it says MUTE ERR . .

also the box gets stuck in tune and to boot up i have to hold down when powering on and it boots up fine. . . if this has anything to do with it?

any help appreciated

It sounds like a faulty card reader, you can buy and replace.

I have a faulty card reader on my Pace 4000. Could I remove a working reader from another box I have for spares (Scientific Atlanta 4200) and fit it into this box?

Thanks.

Mute err can be can be caused by faulty surface mount caps, but most commonly the card reader has dropped a pin, so one of the pins isnt making proper contact with the chip.

You can take the reader apart and pull the pins up the eye of a needle.
