My Mutant HD 2400 is not booting through - it gets as far as driving the screen and showing the initial image with a spinning icon but goes not further

I'm running openvix-4.2.030.release-mutant2400_usb

Sugestions?

Try 5.0.016, that is the latest ViX image.

OK - now flashed and seems OK

I had thought this was not going to be updated but very glad it is

Its a solid receiver and still being maintained via ViX.

And after reflashing it seems to be asking for an output (HDMI etc) when all that is plugged in is HDMI

Am I doing something wrong?

Errr - it is certainly plugged into an HDMI port but this quite a new TV and oddly only shows adjustments for 2 of the three HDMI inputs- but both of those are showing HDMI in

Thanks but I have changed to known working cable.

I get a screen on the Mutant display (not the TV screen ) saying "choose output" e.g. HDMI - but cannot select it with any of the buttons on the HD2400.

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

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?

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.

You had a problem before you tried to reflash the box......

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
