Vu+ Solo Red Light

[Larry-G]

Unless something has changed recently the Vu+ utility application for flashing via a serial port only works with .NFI format images and ALL image teams stopped producing those years ago, the last one ViX did was in the 1.xx series images nearly 4 years ago.

From what I can gather this is still the case, although ther newest version of Vu+ Util can supposedly read .zip files but the image inside ther .zip archive still has to be a .NFI image and only Vu+ them selves have images in this format these days.

sometimes old skool is best

Last time I flashed a box by a RS232 null modem cable it took over 40 minutes (DM 7020)

Just an update on my red light solo. I found 2 blown capacitors on the psu board. The box has been getting quite warm over the past few months. This would have caused the capacitors to dry up and fail, so i was told. I removed the psu board and asked a local tv repair company to replace the 2 blown capacitors. They did the job in under 5 min. Came home and put the box back together and it came back to life. The box also seems to be a lot more quicker to respond to the remote.

Thanks for all the help.

Also its good to see the site back up & running again. Well done to all involved in running a fantastic site.
