starview combo

hi guys,got a starview combo,power it up and all i get is a green dot on the display,cant get into the engineers menu,cant even put into standby mode,i can olny power it up by the switch on the back,my tv is not even picking the scart up,any ideas please

You need to run the mac fix software this should sort it out files in downloads



THIS IS FOR THE STARVIEW HD COMBO +

IF YOURS DOES NOT HAVE A LAN PORT DO NOT USE THIS FIX!!!!!

You will need:
A computer with a serial port
A Null modem 9 pin serial cable (as used on the starview 1 - 3)
Connect the SV HD to the computer using the serial cable and attach to mains (leave turned off by switch on back)
UNZIP the file downloaded
open HD-200_Download.exe
Choose COM 1 (unless you have connected it to a different port)
Select software (HD300N_SC_RS232_1.bin)
Turn on receiver with rear switch
bar will start counting to 100%
WAIT UNTIL SOFTWARE SAYS COMPLETE!!!!
Turn off receiver and back on
P.S. This will also recover 'bricked' SVHD's (if there are any lights still on)
Once complete the receiver will be as factory provided.
If your Starview HD has lost its MAC address this is what you need to do next:
Go to accessory - network - ip config
Set IP to manual
You can now edit the MAC address back to the original receivers address - Your mac address is on a sticker inside the receiver (you can see it through the vents on the top)
apply then exit.
Then you can start from scratch loading which ever firmware you choose.

thanks buddy i'l give it a go when i get in cheers again

no luck dooby2oon selected com port via null cable connected,choosen the file,turn sv box on,and nothing happens the percentage bar does not move,seems like nothing is being loaded,need help plz

Have you set your com port in windows to com 1 to 4
read the first section in link below on how to change and set com port in windows, if you have a valid com port set try a diff one then try again

also when in windows ports setting make sure bits per second is set to 115200 and flow control set at none
