What is wrong when----

My mag 254 is giving me a hard time. I can turn it on, it will have the imfomir logo it gets to loading and it is stuck there. Is there something I can do to fix this?

Do you get to the yellow bar.

 

[kcmood]

No, I do not get beyond the first loading. It should goto a black screen that says loading and then the yellow bar. I also cannot turn it off unless I unplug the power cord.
In other words the first loading is with the infomir logo, then a black screen with a loading again then the yellow bar.

Go into BIOS and scroll down to DEF.SETTINGS and reset,also make sure boot mode says nand.

 

[kcmood]

I will try that again but I have tried repeatably and the bios will not come up

I went into bios again and am where I was before. When I plug in power cord I get "loading from nand, then checking image, then loading". That is where it sits for about 30 - 40 sec and then screen goes black and it cuts off. I will add, which I should have done before, we had a thunder and lightning storm the day it went off and ever since its not working. We did not lose power but we had a powerful storm and my tv in bedroom was fried, it came thru the antenna OTA. The iptv box is in the living room.

Go back to bios and lower the resolution.

 

[kcmood]

Will have to try that tomorrow. Off to work I go

reboot modem, router, then try it, unplug cat5 and try it if rebooting does not work, it should still load, but tell you internet out,

I unplugged the cat 5 as you suggested but it still will not load. Any other suggestions?

My friend had the same problem and found out later that his kid had changed to a higher resolution thinking he would get a better picture but it locked down his mag from loading.If you make changes in BIOS make sure you hit EXIT & SAVE.My bios settings are (720p-60)(1280x720)(nand).

Are You doing what this shows at 1:02 in...?!?

Not sure but, I have a MX Box that looks similar to Your STB, in the back there is the AV Port and I can stick a wooden Toothpick inside slowly till it bottoms out and then I can fell a Click which is another way to Re-Boot and Reset the STB...! Again, Not Sure if that will work with Your Stab... Other Boxes have that availability also : http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?36759-pin-hole-reset
