Bring a Viewsat unit back from the dead. Not tested by me!!!
C/P
Bring a unit back from the dead!! Ok I have seen alot saying there units look dead. Here are a few things to try before sending it back to VS.
1. if it's a clone your SOL 2. reboot pc 3. reload factory file 2061 will work fine
if still no go and you have access to another working receiver then do the following:
1. Load working unit with factory file 2061 2. Once loaded hook up serial cable to dead receiver with power from back switch to off 3. On working unit hooked up to tv do the following:
Menu-> Installation -> Reciver Upgrade
choose main software and click OK (you will see a progress window)
4. Turn dead unit on from back switch 5. The progress bar should start to move indicating dead unit is being programed. If it doesn't check make sure your serial null-modem cable is firmly in place to both receivers and try again.
If the above does not work then your unit is in fact dead. or has a blown fuse.
I have brought a few units back when they seemed to be dead with no front display at all, with these procedures.
or Have you tried this.............
1. Load working unit with factory file 2061 2. Once loaded hook up serial cable to dead receiver with power from back switch to off 3. On working unit hooked up to tv do the following:
Menu-> Installation -> Reciver Upgrade
choose main software and click OK (you will see a progress window)
4. Turn dead unit on from back switch 5. The progress bar should start to move indicating dead unit is being programed. If it doesn't check make sure your serial null-modem cable is firmly in place to both receivers and try again
I got one back to life this morning after loading new file .............

Consider sending your Viewsat to the factory as the last resort. If all else fails.
