[solved] service usb

  • Hi ..I have a big problem.


    I did a software upgrade and restarted the box when asked.


    The box locked up, so I prepared to do a flash of the box.


    After many tries, it would not talk to the dreamup software.
    I have successfully flashed the box before.


    A few months later , I tried again.
    and when I connected to the mini usb, I noticed it was in at an angle.


    Took the lid off the box, and the mini usb was twisted.
    It was not soldered on three of its feet, and had pivoted on its remaining foot.


    Thus it is broken.
    Has anyone heard of this problem before .


    Thanks Kim

  • maybe you can post some pictures of your box


    7020HD?


    how old is the box?


    You can also contact the DMM support (certainly if the warranty is still valid)

  • I dont know about flashing via USB on your model but it looks like you should be able to solder the USB port back onto the board quite easily.

  • When I saw this magnified image of the problem, I thought exactly the same thing.
    But I will have to get some magnification happening, shave a lot off my soldering irom tip, and get some fine solder.


    Should work, but it would be great if there was another way to flash box.

  • Looking at the info for your model it looks like its through the web or through that mini USB port using Dream Up only unfortunately.

  • why aren't you flashing the box over the webinterface? (it's the easiest way)

    I marked the thread as solved

  • Sorry for not understanding your problem when I first read it.
    I thought that you couldnt use the web interface and needed to flash it using Dream UP as your box had locked up and wouldnt show you the IP.
