Starview 6 Bricked?

Hi all. I have a starview 6 for the last 6 weeks or so and it has worked fine....until last week. First it displayed 'not connected' even though everything was ok with my modem connection and settings. Then later that day when I powered it on again, it froze on power up displaying the message 'boot'. It will not go any further than this and no picture or menu is displayed. I can't reflash the firmware as I can't get by the box start up to the main menu nor does it show a USB device.

I am in Dublin using the latest Guinness firmware. Starview 6 Lan.
Does anybody have a suggestion as to what I can do to get it working again?

 

i dont know if it can be done on these boxes yet but you can get on to a box provider and ask is there a way to j.tag the box!

 

best to return it as faulty end of story 12mts warranty on them same as all boxes if it not boting they wont know whats on the box

 

Your warranty is void as soon as you put firmware on it.
Whats the story with the Guinness file mines still running fine on the grooverider file, thought the Guinness file was for the hd boxes?

 

you warranty is only void if you send tha box back with it on and they can see it but if your box is bricked they cant so who is to say what is on the box

 

true but what they cant see they dont know whats on the box
also the guinness is the laatest file for the starview.6 also there is a guinness file for the hd combo
if yours is ok then dont bother put on

 

Hi sballs26,
Try a box to box flash.

 

if he does do a box to box flash and it did work and then froze or similar after
he would have lost his chance to get a refund or a new box
but yes i understand id prob try it myself than wait a week for my new box

 

May aswell be bricked
Stupid thing keeps freezing every couple of minutes today really bloody annoying me today grrr

 

do you have splitters in the house going to other tv's
is the cables going to box ok
what is your signal and quality strength/level
also you could try the guinness firmware
but it wont make much diff if its freezing

 

I put the new firmware on this morning cos it was driving me mad no change tho. I have a separate pipe box upstairs. Signals fine was grand til this morning

 

can ya keep this to one thread? you are being answered in this and the other one you posted in, keeps things easier

 

did you do a factory reset before and after firmware was put on

 

Nope didn't do a reset, try that now

 

lets know how it goes

 

Still freezing also menus are messed up

 

Apologies Mikah I should have started a new thread just wanted someone 2 ans me asap

Yep. Was actin up b4 i changed firmware too

 

factory reset fresh re-flash factory reset scan in channels make sure cable is going direct to box broadband in and follow rest of guide
