2700 password

[tommyers]

I have a 2700 reciever that prompts for a password on certain channels. I have tried the INFO, BROWSE, THEME and TV/VIDEO routine and also looked at the DVM320 sector for the password. I erased the T-SOP twice and programmed to different ones back to the reciever. I still get a prompt for a password on the same channels. Does anyone have a fix or some info on this type of problem?

320 is for 301's, Also the new firmware will not display the password anymore anyway.

Make sure you are entering this in the correct order, On remote press, "Menu,6,3,info,right,left,TV-Video" A Non Volitile Memory corrupt message should appear, If not start over, You need that. Unplug ird then.
If all else fails, Read the tsop, Take it into flashedit and create a virgin eeprom image, Write that to the receiver and that will clear the password as well.

for the 2700 save eeprom and open it in wonka's eeprom editor
for other models open it in notepad

I think I killed the reciever. I erase the eeprom and was trying to put another eeprom from another 2700 and it want take it.

Know when I read it with j-keys it says error DCU peak.

I try to program the EEPROM and it errors out.

I have never fooled with eeprom before. I think I should have read the original eeprom and then saved it as virgin and then programmed it back in. I didn't. I erased it and then tried to put another one from another reciever.

Any Ideas how I may resurect this reciever?

Thanks

Are you trying to program in Boot from Link mode?
Ground pin one of jtag pads to ground while powering up the receiver and then try jkeys

huh??there is no erase option for eeprom

To find the password do your thing with your remote to get to the memory dump. Scroll down the dump to line 01C0 and look at the 3rd group of digits. The first 4 digits are your password. They are reversed by 2's. For example if the dump reads 3421 your password is 1234. This works, I got 2 receivers from FleaBay that drove me crazy with the damn passwords.

Ok! Let me start over. I erase the T-SOP and then I rewrote to the eeprom with the eeprom file which I saved from another reciever. I have tried to rewrite T-SOP with T-SOP file from the other reciever in which I got the eeprom file from.

Know it reads the reciever but it does not identify the reciever type, so I scroll down and click 2800.
I proceed by clicking on Flash and then I kill the power then I boot back up and click ok before 3 seconds have expired.
At this point the reciever type comes up unknown and I have no option to reflash because the program option will not allow me to click on to program.

I try to reprogam the eeprom and all I get is error at 0x0.

any Ideas?

Thanks
