  • Vu Duo 2 repair

    What makes it difficult is the box doesn't get to the stage where the prompt to update from the front USB appears. It used to boot with the VFD displaying CFE V2 and then "double your expectation" would appear followed by a message asking to press the power button for an update. There's no video on the screen and nothing appears on the VFD or LCD at all, possibly indicating that the basic functions of the receiver aren't starting. It behaves as if it's stuck in deep standby mode, the HDD spins up when it's connected but the fan doesn't spin.


    The inside of the unit is immaculate with next to no dust. The white LED flickers when the front button is pressed, no response from the remote.

    Explain that problem has the receiver bud


    Duo2 Dead - White LED / Blank VFD and no Boot




    I bought the Duo2 l from world-of-satellite.co.uk running VIX 3.xx with the CFE V2 Bootloader and it's been flawless until now, the screen went blank and now the box appears to be dead.


    When the Duo2 is powered up from the switch at the rear, the white LED lights up, the HDD spins but there's nothing on the VFD screen and the system won't boot.
    It doesn't appear to be possible to load anything from the front USB since the prompt on the VFD screen doesn't show.


    Is there a tool similar to the ones used for boxes like the DM500 to reflash the box if it's a software corruption issue? I really hope it's something not too difficult to rectify.
    I did a search to see if anyone else had a fix for this but all I found were some people with the same problem with no solutions.

    Hi rumpole


    no it wont boot or clear if you hold the button under the front flap
    and keep it pressed when you turn on at the rear switch. Tried also pressing the on button at the same time on the remote


    thanks

    Hi


    I tried this as suggested : turn off power AT BACK USING ROCKER SWITCH, THEN
    Apply power to your receiver. wait until the white light has been on a couple of minutes, then press the red power button on the remote. The white light on the receiver should blink and the box should boot in a couple of minutes.


    didn't work
