I have a Fortec Star lifetime ultra that lost power. After reading several threads on this forum, I understood that I was suppose to jtag it. So i made myself a jtag cable (that works) and i downloaded several repair kits to perform the operation. The first one had wall.exe and jkeys in it and the second one had skymax 1.3 each one of those packs had it own instruction.
Using the kit with wall and jkeys, when I open jkeys it does not recognize my receiver. All it say is 0x0000 and unknown device.
Using the 2nd repair kit with skymax 1.3, when I press start I get this: Init JTAG IDCODE : 00000000 Fail DCU, Plesae Restart or Reset CPU Box
At this point when I plug the jtag in the receiver and turn my receiver on Im getting the 8888 signal up front.
check wiring and ground... also I had same problem when connected to my laptop.. when connected to another computer the receiver was recognised on the spot.. so mebbe something with the port settings and addressing. check those on computer and match to jkeys settings.
any other suggestions! Im pretty sure of the wirring
