eagle box problem

**fatlad** · Jan 27th 2011

Hi gang

one of my eagle boxs keeps dying on me round about every month this is the third time now.

First of all it freezes so i reboot it, the box comes on but the screen blank no startup screen (pli jade green) so i reflash it works fine for 4 - 5 weeks then back to square one. Has anybody had this problem before or does the box need returning as it is still under warrenty.

Many thanks

If you returned it the chances are they will blame pli so if you do flash the eagle img lol.
If it works fine for a month before going wrong i would say the box is fine.
Maybe somebody experimenting with all the new menus?
If not download a fresh copy of the image and reflash with dreamup.

Thanks Ten, can you suggest an alternative image or is there an updated pli image its my son who has been using the box and i don't think he would know how to mess with the menus.

Just a suggestion,
Swap the eagles and see if the other has the same problem after a month.

Could be the power supply this is what mine used to do just freeze for no reason changed the power supply and no more problems with it freezing.

I had a weird problem with mine freezing and rebooting seemingly at random. Turned out the satellite coax cable's internal wire was sticking out too much (if that makes sense), pushed it in a couple of millimetres and fine now. It's a good box but sometimes it is a little bit sensitive and fragile.

Might just be worth checking out.
