    How do I clean out an AZBOX

    Is there any way to return an AZBOX to the condition it left the manufacturer?
    I am having problems with it not operating my dish motor and a factory reset, delete all, format etc. seem to give a temporary, partial fix but I keep finding traces of previous settings that I put in there even after I have done all the above so wondered if there was some way of wiping it completely like formating the HD and reinstalling the OS does on a PC.

    I can't remember what version firmware was on it originally but have tried a factory setting and reloading the firmware but noticed things like the IP address I had set for the box was still in and I keep finding various other settings I had put in before are still in it.
    I would like to go back to a clean state as I can't get Diseq1.2 to work at all now and USALS is only working when it feels like it.

    Tried that but it does not completely wipe it, tried everything in the 'data reset' menu but it still leaves traces of old settings.

    When I first read the topic, I thought the OP was asking about cleaning the box inside out and I was gonna suggest using soap and water to do the needful...

    Naw, it needs a power washer to shift some of the stuff in there.

    But first make sure FAN setting is set to ON - otherwise will take some time to dry :-)

    Seriously, are Opensat still Open? They aren't on their own forum, don't answer emails and no firmware since the infamous fan-job...
    Should I turn the lights out or is someone still there?
