I have 301.010 EAGD and SW64 switch. I did an ECM fix. Reprogam EEPROM. Restream it, got update. But now I can not get the signal from 110 and 119. I only get 148. Run Switch test. Switch unknown. Plug another IRD in the same cable. I got all 3 birds. Would someone help me to fix it. Thank you

This is stored in the Eeprom, You may want to reflash the eeprom again. I would take the tsop file and load it into flashedit, Then use the create virgin eeprom image and flash that to the ird, Should help.

I created a virgin EEPROM from flashedit. Reprogram eeprom. Still only get 148.

Conver IRD to Bev. No signal pickup. if I plug Dishnetwork cable 148 shown up.

I'm totally lost. Anyone have the BEV virgin eeprom (mine config built EAGD). Please post it. Thank you for all your helps.

I fogot to let you know that, the digital lock and eeprom lock are installed. Any time I programed, both set unlock. I can remove the password and save or run the check switch and IRD reconized the 148. Unplug IRD replug and 148 still shown in the check switch. I believe it stored in EEPROM. Only 119 and 110 no signal at all. Plug to other cable I got 110 and no 148, 119. I will try to get the eeprom chip, replace and try again. I will post the outcome. Thank you for all your helps.

Silly question, But is this receiver connected to IRD slot 1 on the sw 64? this slot powers the sw64 either from a 301 or model with 750 ma output or needs the external power inverter. Also, these switches do go bad, Not too uncommom. Oh, Is it a real dishnet sw64, Or a generic? Some generics are having trouble. Make sure you do not have a switch before the sw64 and lnbs, The daul lnbs from both outputs for each sat 110-119-148 all must be run to sw64( 6 Cables) the will end up 110 odd-110-even-119 odd-119 even-148 odd- 148 even.

Mine is Dishnetwork SW64 with power inserter. I pluged other three IRD run check switch got them all for 3 birds (odd-even-odd-even-odd-even) except the ECM fixed IRD. May be the config built (EAGD) is cause this problem. I don't have a back up. I found the virgin EEPROM file from dssftp but unluckyly the EAGD in that file is corrupted and the Jkey and Wall could not run (only 1kb, eeprom file should be 2kb) . Now I can not find it anywhere.

I know I had problems with a EAF build a while back, Ended up using a EAE, took it to flash edit and changed the eae to eaf, Flashed the IRD, Dumped SA3 and it restreamed proper back to EAF, Might be a option ?
As long as you have a TSOP image, You can create a new Virgin eeprom image in flashedit as well.

It does sound like the ird's eeprom is the problem.

If the tsop image on the receiver is good, Just read it again and use that to make a eeprom image then write that back and give it a try. Flashedit2 is the proggy.
