  • some rare type of issue vu solo

    As instructed download a instruction file to vu utility.
    In ccouse of serching i got another file stating how to use 2012 latelest firmware for vu solo .I think this is for old vu solo which doesn't have version 2,0 here there are 3 steps
    Step 1 Check version (no need if its alredy v 2.0 )
    Step 2 Flash memory content with renew flash exe file by selecting up flash 120227
    Step 3 Erase memory with erase 126.exe
    step 4 upgrade secret ic with some file
    Later u can upgrade cfe solo 2.0


    You can google it by

  • some rare type of issue vu solo


    Yup you are true friend & thats the reason iam not trying to repair tv as iam pretty sure what is the fault as there is a complete video on youtube to troubleshoot that symptoms,


    Secondly i installed the capacitor but the result is same no video,
    Another thing a few members were asking above regarding telnet and Ethernet is not working as there is no light blinking on the ethernet port nor its getting detected on router


    The last option would try with null cable when the motherboard arrives .


    Can znyone post the link of procedure to update with null cable



    LASTLY ONE FINAL CONFIRMATION DOES RCA OUT WORK AFTER A FLASH AS IAM CHECKING ON A 5 INCH TV WITH RCA NOT ON HDMI

  • some rare type of issue vu solo

    I do ave basic soldering experience and can manage is easily & more over the capacitor is very far away from other components.
    & you know All the 3 equipments which failed due to lightning has a similar problem ie no display, the motherboard ,Vu & the tv .
    Well i have given MB for replacement as it was under warranty, Tv techie is expected any time.Unless the MB arrives cannot test the vu with Null Cable.

    Quote from thatfellow

    OK m8 do that if you are sure that the VU problem is the same as TV, but just answer caz's question above




    It would be ill advised to start soldering before confirming that it really needed to be done and it was your last option..
    As you said, your VU was plugged out when lightning struck. The router might need to be reflashed & all your static IP's & portforwards etc. might have to be setup again. Damaged router or router flash seems way more likely to me than a power surge through the LAN Cable..


    You are true soldering should be the last option.As I already removed the capacitor on the power board 44uf/400v.Which i suspect to e faulty as it is slightly bulged from top and i bought the replacement.Will post the result in evening. Replacing Capacitor c 807 is not my cup of tea in solo as its a micro embedded capacitor.


    And assume the power capacitor fULTY BECAUSE initially when i discovered the box fault.Box acted weird like whin i plugin the mains the light remains red always and after 20 minutes when i press reset ti blinks to green. And it continued to green> But after unpluging for few hours the sitiation remains the same back to red.Thats the reason i want to replace the Capacitor on power board

  • some rare type of issue vu solo

    Thanks for the support all of you. One thing i can confirm is lightning was the reason behind this issue. As My TV,PC and Vu are dead All these were connected in LAN Switch.
    TV has a power issue as i am following that too with a blown capacitor in the power board , Same with motherboard and i am expecting the same with the vu as i have dobut on one capacitor on
    the power board.Will report today as iam going to replace the capacitor today.

  • some rare type of issue vu solo

    Just i was learning about the C807 replacement , C107 is easy to repalce in vu duo as its a normal tradtional capacitor but here in vu solo its a small,hybrid or embeded onboard (exactly not know what to say )where there are no values mention nor a person who has basic soldering exprience can replace needs a specialist to replace it.

  • some rare type of issue vu solo

    BH 1,79 was working well in flash though i used other images no meoboot. Yesterday i noticed that The reciever is booted and there is no display.When i press a key the fromd led just blinks no video nor it gests switched off with remote.


    I reflashed the image it flashed as usual (in 3 minutes) but there is no display.The only unusual thing i noticed thet when the box power is unpluged for few hours and when i connect if the front light remains at standby (red ) i need to reset click to get back to green.


    another thing that happend it there was a big lightning yesterday.but the box power cord was not plugged in and the pc as well as hub were off.Here i get a dobut because PC conneted to the same hub is also not working though the hub is working properly.


    Is the boot loader corrupted or there is some hardwaew issue with the strong lightning

  • Green light on vu but no display

    did the image got installed normally ? Like did the LED flashed after successful installation ?
    And yes there some problem with no display in few boxes Specially when you restart the box
    from the remote .
    Just try these 2 steps


    1. unplug the main power of box an tv . Replace the HDMI Cable (if you don't have have a spare just reverse it)


    2. And Switch on the tv and box ,


    You should find the display


    Personally i feel there is some hardware issue on the video side in some boxes

  • HDD Mount problem with Black hole 1.79 installed in Meoboot

    I Installed a image BH 1.79 on meoboot and its working exceptionally well .But the problem is Iam unable to mount the The HDD drive mount point is Sdb1/Media /Mepboot. & It cannot be changed.However mediaplayer sees the files and plays.
    The problem is to transfer the files with FTP as it is not mount


    However everything is normal with USB drive.


    Somewhere i read that MEoboot should be installed after mounting all the drives. is it correct ? Please guide.


    And i hope this is the correct way to remove meoboot


    delete folders on way /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/Meoboot and
    /media/usb/meoboot . Restart after it.

  • lost channels on BlackHole 2.0.1 image

    I believe you need to configure the tuner


    Just now i too faced the same problem here.Even after restoring the bouquet and channel list i was unable to watch all the channels. Just what i did is installed new xml file and configured all the sats with the tuner and re installed bouquet from the backup the and everything is working perfectly now.In my case i re flashed to 1.79

  • Where we should add this type of comands


    Thanks for clarification


    Last can you let me know the command for this situation


    Iam unable to transfer new file or delete the existing files with the DCC to the HDD .HDD is EXT3 partition .I can record successfully


    Tried giving all kinds of permission to the folder 725, 777 ... by right click the folder in DCC.But no successful results.


    PLEASE ADVICE

  • Unable to transfer files from Pc to attached HDD

    I have checked the Permissions its all ok. even tried with other ftp software the result is the same.
    Later i flashed the box it remains the same (lost all the backups :ah: as backup file is not working )


    Now the only sol is to format the HDD and check.


    Does the solo recognizes NTFS partitions ? Can it be mounted ?

  • pendrive


    First you need to mount the drive by pressing blue button twice. Secondly you need to format the disk with EXT 3
    Lastly set th recording path in the set-up and you are done


    You can use Pc or laptop too for creating ext3 partition.Search easeus tool Please Search in google

  • Unable to transfer files from Pc to attached HDD

    Using BH 1.79 .Till yesterday transfers from between pc to Vusolo HDD were normal in both directions.Now the problem is i cannot transfer from PC to the attached HDD to the box .However i can transfer from HDD to PC normally. mountpoints are correct and media too playing well in the box from the files in HDD
    When i try to transfer a 200mb file the message in the dcc shows 1729 bytes received in 32 milliseconds. Without any transfer.And even i cannot delete anything
    from the HDD neither crashlogs nor files.It appears as if the HDD is locked


    However transfer are normal in both the ways with the thumb Drive.


    The only thing i did was done a factory reset (with HDD & USB attached) as booting was slow with the box.


    Please advice

  • Can I Add USB Hub to Solo ?

    Thanks for the reply today found an external usb hub with external power (image attached )1ba87d9746280d46599.jpg


    here there is a option to add external power in this hub
    but my doubt is if i add external power supply does it not clash with the power supplied by the Vu solo which iam afraid my damage the box.


    please confirm
