Heh, the fan is there already, i've put it in a long time ago. Here's what happens - i upload the image via DreamUp and everything is ok, but as soon as i restart or shut it down, it doesn't boot anymore. there's no HDD in it. i seriously suspect something is wrong wit the box, because this was happening from day 1 since i bought it, everything worked ok and after 2-3 months it wouldn't boot anymore. I always thought it's simply because i didn't know how to use it properly, but now it seems it really is defected. and the warranty is gone since april i don't know what could be the problem, since i've always done things like i was told by experienced users, and pretty much never had anything on the box apart from the image, only 2-3 plugins and that's it.

Thanx for the answers, btw.

Is anybody even reading this board?

Hi!

Once again i have a problem with my Dreambox. Recently it started rebooting itself for no apparent reason, in the middle of watching. When i turn it on normally, it boots fine, and a watch it for some time and then it just restarts and can't boot anymore. I flashed the latest official image, but still the same. I have DVB S&T, no HDD.

What can i do?

i ps-ed it, but i don'tsee it in the list

note that bootprobleme.sh is in "/etc/init.d",
so to start it you have to navigate back into this directory fiirst.

i did that, but still i can't start it

ok, thanx. dm works now, i just hope it lasts.

are there any visible signs of this scrpt? i mean, how do i know it works?

If you want to test it:

Type init 2 (to stop Enigma) and
then sh bootprobleme.sh start
The script should wait for 60 seconds and then
reboot the system (as Enigma is not running)

this is the part where i have problems - i dd everything like you wrote, chmoded it correctly, and when i run thetest, enigma stops, but then when i try to start it, dm reports it can't find the script.

thanx, it works, but unfortunately after doing it i noticed in rc3.d there already is a S99 process - S99mnologin. did i mess up something?

ls outputs nothing

yet, with ftp i can see all those directories

errrrm, how do you get into /etc?

i don't suppose it's the same as in DOS - cd etc?

If you can read German, the situation is discussed in full here,
with a temporary solution: link

Aaaaah, my german is not so good. I found the post, but can xou tell me how should i name the script and where should i put it?

I don't know if the constant hard resets have damaged your image.
Reflashing might help - but that's only a guess.

I can flash the image easily, but the same thing happens. somebody told me that i should do a flash erase, but i can only find instructions for DM7020 - pressing the up button while booting, but on 7025 it doesn't work.

Hi!

I'm having problems with my Dreambox 7025. I've had it for about 4 months and since 2 months ago the following started to happen - after i've put it in deep standby, it wouldn't finish booting after i started it for the first time and i had to switch it off and on again on the button at the back of it (cause no front buttons would react) it and it booted fine. This happened every time after i've put it in deep standby. This didn't worry me too much and i'm only writing it cause maybe it would be useful in recognizing the symptoms of whatever it is that's going on with it now. So, couple of weeks ago, while i was watching tv, the picture just went off and DM restarted itself, but wouldn't boot completely, it just changed from 'flash vmlinux.gz' to 'BOOT #45' OR 'BOOT #44' back and forth. I've tried everything i could think of but it wouldn't work. Somebody told me to leave it unplugged for a couple of days so i did. After i plugged it in, it booted fine and worked for a couple of hours and then the same thing happened. And this keeps repeating on and on. The only thing i didn't try was flash erase cause the 'holding the up button while booting' procedure doesn't work, nothing happens. So, i suspect there's something wrong with the power supply. Am i right or is there something else i can try?

Also, does this type of failure fall under warranty? And if so, do i need the original box for it cause mine got ruined?

Thanx.
