Mutant HD 2400 not booting through

[Nunhead_Man]

The OK button on the remote is the one to use, however, the tv screen should be showing the setup dialogue.

The TV screen is showing now't

Make sure when changing cables to have everything physically powered off - its easy to damage a hdmi socket. Also use a different socket on the TV

Yes and I have - the TV has three hdmi sockets - and all work with something else but not the Mutant

Does the OK buton work when the main TV screen is not showing?

Is there something wrong with this distro in that it does not recognise the connected screen?

Try a recharge of the remote m8 ???

[Nunhead_Man]

The remote gives a green light when plugged into USB - is that correct?

Going to try reading mind here.. . .

The front display is showing display output options. There is nothing on the TV screen. You can access the receiver by webif. Component/Composite output works.

HDMI chip not working.

Thank you

Err - what is webif?

and HDMI chip where - in the Mutant?

OpenWebif is accessed by inputting the IP address of receiver in your web browser.

HDMI chip is on circuit board of receiver. If you have tried different leads, different HDMI ports of TV, different TVs, then more than likely the chip has been damaged. Hence the advice above about shutting down everything when connecting the HDMI cable.

Ah! [pokes around in DHCP] nothing named in DHCP as "Mutant - no idea what IP it is on.

Only different leads in the same port of the 2400, diferent ports on the TV, 2400 turned off each time - so I may have blown it but not this way

Oho!

That gave me an idea - someone here had put the cable to the screen in HDMI "in" - qualifies for idiot of the year here

Sorry for all the trouble

And you already claimed you tried different hdmi sockets??
