Default ditv1000 talk back

Hello, I am looking to find out what I have to do to cut TB on this pace.
I have searched forum and have found an image in angels guide.I just cannot locate the right place to cut'n'peel

Do I have to remove tuner cans to find the track? there's the main cable IN. can, and then 2 cans connected to it??

I have even printed out the image but cant orientate it to match the pcb .

Is there a better image somewhere? I know I have failing eyesite but have loads of magnifiying lenses

cheers

Yes you have to take off the tuner and remove cover from tuner to cut the track... there is a pick in the download section...

Yes, you need to remove the metal casing that surrounds the tuner. It's a small track that you need to cut, just scratch a small line through the track until you can see a gold colour underneath. To check it talkback has been cut properly, power on the box and their should be an LED flashing constantly (middle one I think).

Undo the screw on the tuner, then push it towards the side of the box to release it, once removed you'll need a pair of pliers or similar to twist the small piece of metal that comes through the outer casing of the tuner so that you can pop the cover off.

You'll then recognise the pic in the Novice Angel Guide.

Cut the track and repeat the process backwards.

Hi all, thanks for all your reply posts, i had the images for 1000 etc in angels I also found I had this from years ago when I had an old atlanta and was searching back in 2003

Okay I have followed the guide created by novice guide and pics
"Courtesy of Gadgetfiend....."

Ive taken some more macro shots with my big mitts doing the actual diss-assembly can upload them if wanted

Okay I have the ird and bk made a fun5 and booted box and checked return Flashing middle gr lite all ok

The box did not do as I would expect it was PACE and the normal 4 hyphons eg - - - - then went to 515 and showed a blue grey band at the bottom with station id and that was it??

I removed power after about 3 mins as it didnt go into turning cycle ei...la 50 etc

Anyone know what I have here??

Cheers

sorry // are you in a tw area or pure area // if you was in a cw area with the right net id the box should work on the old ntl menus //because there are 2 chips on the sim and not 4 the box will not update to the latest menus
