Can someone help me with this ird,i must have tried every filebut only get a screen showing "acquiring satellite signal". The last working modded file i tried both the build config. and build data i only need minor changes.The build config. from my ird sticker is EAED but EAEA from the backup. I change both tsop and eeprom to match each at diferent times but no luck. The build config. and data are the same. No matter what i tried i just get a screen showing "acquiring satellite signal". Anyone else with this problem?

From "Acquiring sat signal" Try "MENU" 6,1,1 to signal strength and if not locket a think you have LNB problem or sw or from LNB's to receiver is the problem.

My fta works fine on the same line,when i do a signal check from the menu i get the beeping sound that would be normal but no signal is visible on the status bar that you would normally see the signal strength.

Then try with a good transponder as 31 on 110 sat or 11 on 119 sat and to the check switch.And if you have two sats put the sw-21 with the dish net.

I wish there was a solution to this your not alone!

Thanks for your response but am not using a switch just on 110 only. I have just gone through all the transponder but none are giving any signal.My fta works fine along with a 2700 i set up but just can't get this to work,it just keeps scrolling through the transponders and beside satellite it reads "default".I know its not a lnb or signal issue since others work. I don't know what else to do this driving me crazy.

It you IRD working B4 you flash the N2 mod tsop? Try flash the original tsop back, to see if you IRD still working.

Now i flash with the original and the receiver won't power up from remote or the front panel, the power light only appears when its initially plug in.

No Signal ird 3100-10
First Check sat input with the Volt meter See if 18-19 Volt , if no Volt or 6 volt ,That meam Some thing wrong with the transitor (Tr31) Located Next to the Silver box ,the Fix for this is using 2" wire, first end of the wire conect to the heatsink of the tr31 the other end of wire conect to the big Resistor 10k infont of the tr31, (we call this bypass )is very eazy hope this help u:beer:

I thought you hooked the center leg to the left leg of tr31

Castaway he may have the cables wrong , Make sure you got sat. cable in the right place.

Hello
Center leg of the transistor tr31 it going to confuse who dosnot have the electronic backgruond so i try to make it eazy for it but any way give it a try thanks

In laymans terms, If you are satisfied that your connections are correct and your lnb and switch are working properly. Then the problem is the heat sink.
You remove the cover to the receiver you will see a silver cover at the rear of the receiver remove it. You will see a black chip which will probably be hot. Using a heat gun set at 500 degrees funnel the heat only at that chip
for about three minutes. It should work now.

I had/am having the same problem with this same model and Atmega. I thought it was bad equipment and did find some problems, but am finding that there is indeed something different about this flash. I don't know if there are other flashes to try, have not looked, but that would be my next step. Have tried this on two 301-10s, does not matter which one, it always gives me problems with Atmegas. 102 to 10 flash works fine on either one.

I finally got mine going, had to flash P55 virgin software, then had to use a blue card to let it update
later

I have the very same problem, all I get is ACQUIRING SIGNAL (when i just plug my reciver i got a msg "Your Dishnet service has been suspended call to reactivate"
My Build Config is also EAED but must of the TSOP here are EAEA. I have cheked the line with a (analog) satellite finder meter and I get the beeping sound with signal 10, But the receiver doesnt display any signal strength. I have tried 119 trans 11 al the other Satellites as well and each transponder no signal still.
Maybe I got a corrupted image, any suggestion ?
Does Anybody have a 301-10 build config EAED
Note does it matter if Im using a 288-09 card (blue card)

Yes, I have a modified TSOP for a build config EAED. I created it using the files from DIY TSOPs and EEPROMS.

I don't use plastic or FTA. Every thing is do is regular DN receivers and ATmega128. Therefore, what works perfectly for me may not work at all for you.

I will never understand why it is that so many people want to "bypass" electrical components. I would not want this kind of person to work on any of my equipment. If you have a defective component, replace it with a suitable replacement.

I am assuming the transistor is a voltage regulator of some sort. When you "bypass" it, you lose your regulation and when you lose your regulation you risk damaging other components. Why do you want to do that?

As far heating an integrated circuit to 500 degrees, just what the hell is that for? If you do that, it will no doubt burn out. Heat sinks are put there to dissipate heat because the component connected to it gets pretty warm. I have no idea what that particular integrated circuit does, but it was definately put there for a reason. Manufacturers are not in the habit of putting unnecessary components into electronic equipment. The engineers that designed the electronic euipment in question felt all these components were required in order for the unit to operate within specified parameters, be reliable and not pose any type of electrical hazard to the user. Whenever I hear of someone who tells others to alter/modify a piece of electronic equipment, I get more than a little concerned for the safety of the people who follow the advice.

I am sorry if I hurt anybody's feelings, I apologize for that, but I feel the safety of the members here is infinately more important than someone's hurt feelings. To bypass or short-out components in a piece of electronic equipment is not a good idea, can be potentially dangerous, and can damage other components. I do not think it is in anyone's best interest and I would strongly advise the members here not to do it. If your equipment is not operating up to standard, either get it repaired by a reputable repair facility, or get different equipment. Do not put yourself at risk, or risk your other equipment, by attempting to "bypass" or "short-out" electronic components.

I will now get down off my soapbox and go to work.
