Bronze Member Username: PaintPost Number: 29 Registered: Mar-06 | LK, A little terminology difference. If you open Pansat 3500SD EPG.zip the bin is marked 145. Not being a 2700 fan didn't realize there was a a 145 for those too. Phidget, sorry for confusion, you can get bin at future-fta. |

New member Username: PhidgetPost Number: 3 Registered: Apr-06 | Hey, that's ok...things couldn't possibly get confusing around here could they? lol. well, since my last post, i've been trying and retrying to load the factory bin on a couple of different putors with no success...I ended up last night curled up in a corner, twitching and sucking my thumb!LOL I woke up this morning refreshed, took my receiver to a buddy's with my null modem cable, just to see if that was the problem....twas not...factory bin loaded fine and everything is right in the world again. For some reason my receiver is not communicating with my PC or vice versa. The only thing I did'nt try is restart my pc after I connected the receiver to it....even though it looked like my pc recognized the hardware maybe it didn't or won't until restart? Anyway, thanx to both of you LK and JD youve been a great help. You've obviously got your poup in a group on this stuff and it's good to know, that there's someone out there to help. I'm still learning and I'm a determined little sh+t who won't give up until i learn all the ins and outs and dos and dont's. And I just learned my first don't ! Thanx again L8tr |

Bronze Member Username: PaintPost Number: 30 Registered: Mar-06 | Phidget, why are you messing with the cable when you can be using the SD card? I use Mac so don't know about PC problems but hear that PC's don't default to com port 1 or available port, there is a little program floating around that let's you check your com port, it's posted on this site somewhere. LK, communication is the biggest problem in the world, if we could ever be on the exact same wave length all things would work smoothly, our minds always default to our last thoughts and the areas we know best, thanks |

Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 1981 Registered: Jan-06 | THE OLD, but still needed, NULL MODEM, WAY: Also required way to RECOVER FROM b-70 LOCK-UP ERRORS - which may be caused by corrupted or improper bins - channel or code. 1) Using the switch on the back of the receiver, turn the power OFF. 2) Connect RS232 Null Modem(#2,3 crossed) cable between the receiver and PC. 3) Open the GTRom Loader V3.36 or V3.37 (Pansat 3500S). 4) Click and browse to select the unzipped Factory Bin File which is to be downloaded. 5) Select FILE TYPE: APP FILE ONLY 6) Power up the 3500 with the switch on the back and as soon as you see the front display flash b-70, hit the download button of the GTRom loader. 7) Do not interrupt the receiver or its' power while downloading until after it re-boots on its own. Press OK after "Download Complete!!" appears on the PC screen. Unless you need to re-flash from a constantly displayed b-70, you really should use the SD card - it's faster and easier on the cables and equipment. |

New member Username: PhidgetPost Number: 4 Registered: Apr-06 | JD, Actually I only use the SD to write the bins, the only reason I had to resort to using the cable and PC is cause I ended up in b-70 lock up after writing a bad bin from the SD card, and after the receiver rebooted it was locked on b-70, there was no access to sd card at this point or anything else for that matter. This was the first time I've actually had to use the cable, hopefully it will be the last! I still feel a little out of whack after that whole ordeal, not sucking my thumb anymore....but I still got a little twitch! lol but unfortunatley, at least in my past experience, in order for me to learn, I have to srew sh+t up once in awhile! But I always learn from my mistakes. The only prob is I can't stand the fact that I didn't succeed using the null modem....and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna keep at it until I get it to work. I also forgot to mention, that I had to purchase a prolific serial to usb adapter in order to connect my stb to PC, I installed it on com 4 and it shows in device manager so I'm assuming that my pc has recognized the stb. I see LK has posted a comport utility check and will try that and see what happens. Thanx L8tr |
