I’m having a problem accessing my TSOP with a Jtag.

This is my set up:
1. 2800 IRD
2. Magic Card, using the card less ROM 3 set up, default cam ID
3. installed a serial interface on the J-tag port
4. Using a homemade buffered J-Tag reader. J-keys 2.9.11
5. installed normally open pushbutton to sb39 and sb40 (Junkyard fix)

Ever since the ECM of a few weeks ago, I have been unable to access the TSOP for reloading the original image, I keep getting the unknown device 0x0000 etc. I’m using the same J-Tag setup that successfully stored the unit’s original image. The junkyard fix seems to bring everything back to normal very quickly, like about 5 min, and all channels are viewable but in an hour or so the ECM hits again. I don’t have very little knowledge about dish, that’s why I’m in the newbe forum, but I’m assuming that the TSOP is marked or the Magic card is providing a signature for the ECM. I can reprogram the MC, but the IRD as I have stated is giving me a problem. It’s possible that the J-Tag has failed in some way; however, before I explore that route, maybe some could give me some advice which would save time. Has this ECM perminantly disabled me from altering the TSOP?

I have only been testing Dish for about 4 weeks know, I’m learning as much as time allows, so any advice is appreciated.

Is your location 0000000001? How is the wiring on a serial port Jtag? Junk Yard fix is not the way to go, it can destroy your IRD, best to get the Jtag working.

I installed a push button, used it about 5 times, no problem yet, only the ECM every hour or so. Yes my location is 000001 after each ECM. The Jtag has not changed since I backed up my original TSOP. I would really like to program my TSOP again. I guess I will keep looking for info on what the ECM is keying on. Maybe I don't have to reprogram my IRD, just the MC.

With your luck with the junk yard, you should be playing poker or craps at Vegas. All you need to do is rease the SA5 sector to correct the ECM. Begin by getting the Jtag working. Check your cable, and procedure on how to Jtag again. Narrow your PPV's or remove them to see if that is the target for ECM. If that is not it, it could be your Cam ID.
