how to flash eeprom and tsop?

[cablecowboy]

sorry for the questions guys,but i cant find answers in previous threads. my 3100-10 will not pick up the sat. signal and the guys on the forum told me to reflash the tsop both 1and2 and flash the eeprom as well. i have never done this so please help.

to flash the tsop do i erase "full" on flash1 then click program to flash the new bin file. and then repeat for flash2?

to flash eepromm do i erase then programm with new back up?

thanks for the help.

You don't want to do that. Is the IRD working at all, does it power up, can you do a switch test?. If it does power up, what information on the screen do you get. More information needed.

thanks hieros. i get everything but the sat. signal and i now it woks because i put my other 3100-10 on that line and i get 83% signal on bev. the ird powers up just no signal.

is that how you flash the tsop and eeprom?

try checking for voltage from the sat connection on the ird no voltage will tell you it might be an internal problem

[himeros]

The DC voltage from the sat input cable connector that goes to the LNB's should be between 12 and 17 volts. Are you sure you have the dish pointed right, do you have another IRD to check your setup with?

guys i will try that and let you know. the sat is fine my other irds work great.

i cant get a read at all. but im not great with a voltage tester. i put the red on the metal piece that goes in the satallite in spigot and the black to ground . is that correct.

i just did a vid mod on my 301-13 ird, i get sat 119 and i switched wires at the switch, and was getting sat 110 all my other receivers work fine but the receiver doesnt recognize the switch, is there a secret to make the modded ird recognize the switch? im using a dish 500 and i have adapters on my other receivers do i need adapters on this receiver now that it has been modded?

[cablecowboy]

did you do a check switch test?

That is correct, you should get 12 to 17 volts DC there. If the other receivers work using the same cable, at the same place as the one that don't work, and you don't get any voltage, I would suspect the receiver.
