8y2e6eqe.jpg This is just the first. More green screens follow. This is a clean reflash on genuine DM800HD which boots beautifully once and then never again. I tested this behaviour many times. Please help. Thank you!

This is a so-called segfault ("segmentation fault").

 

It's very hard to track down such an error. This is during booting?

Sorry. Yes it is. This one is the first of the green screens. Could it possibly be related that since this is a clean flash on DM 800 HD, there's no flash expander yet installed?

 

Strange thing is though that all is working just beautifully until and only UNTIL the machine once shuts down or reboots. Then this green hell starts. I've been spending days with this and would appreciate your help.

 

Thanks.

 

PS: I'm currently on both efnet and freenode on #dreambox irc channels.

What is it with the 12V? Any possibility the once burned down adapter is to fault? Hard to imagine due to circumstances.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I have an identical issue with my Solo² after I've updated my satreceiver today with the

- I can succesfully flash the box, everything boots up and I can browse my TV channels. Everything works..

BUT

if I restart enigma, or do a complete reboot,... my receiver is stuck at bootup. My box says 'starting...' Power switching.... nothing helps.

Other images work perfect, so it must be an OpenPLI thing

No absolutely not, a flash expander will even make things worse.

 

I am afraid you have same hardware issue. It's a good idea to measure the input voltage (12V) indeed.

Try to change the Big Capacitators near the SCART in the mainboard, then check all other Caps.

 

Or try to remove the tuner, then power up and see how it goes.

 

One off this should fix your 800HD problem.

Tonight I realized the adapter may be to blame. My power supply shows 12V 24W 2A (!). I checked the dream box for genuinity and it is a thankfully a genuine dreambox according to the website.

What's so strange about that?

Hmm interesting. But it's sufficient.

Apparently not for my 800HD PVR 2009 edition. I will test and hopefully have positive results.

Either that or it's simply defective (which I rather suspect).
