    Mine occasionally gets silly like that. Switch off at back for a time. Always works for me....but I guess that you have already tried that!

    What about loading another Darkman patch and throwing a softcam on top?

    so do a factory reset on the box as I said earlier

    if you are getting a light on then it must be turning on so your statement in post 6 is incorrect

    Hi

    I assume that you have the DM Loader installed and that you have the correct cable, go here and get the latest official software version 1.70:

    HTML Code:
    http://www.technomate.com/software_updates.php?model=TM-1000CI++%26+TM-1500CI%2B
    Follow the instructions given below:

    1. Download to your pc the latest TM loader 1.8.7 or later as required depending on your stb and the bin file from darkman.
    2. connect the NULL MODEM serial cable to your pc and stb.
    3. Open tm loader 1.8.7 and load /browse the right file.
    4. Your stb must have power/switched on from the back (standby mode)
    4.Click on connect on the tm loader and power on your TM 1500
    Loading starts, wait till it finishes ( writing and erasing)
    5. Power off, connect scart or whatever power on

    I hope that this is of some help to you.

    taken from the sticky thrteads at the top of the forum:-



    THIS INFO IS FOR TECHNOMATE 1000 SERIES RECEIVERS ONLY!

    If for some reason your receiver locks up, or you can't gain access to the main menu to change any settings,
    and you need to do a factory reset, then here is a solution which may help towards fixing the problem:

    How to access the diagnostics page on your TM 1000 Series:

    When switching on at the mains, press & hold the power button and the channel up button on the front of the Technomate Receiver.
    Wait about 10 seconds. do not use the remote control.

    If you have done it incorrectly you will see on screen
    Data Transfer, just click exit and try again.

    Once you have access to the diagnostics you will
    have full control over them, so be careful, if you
    don't know what you are doing, then don't do or save anything.

    Always ask for advice in the Forum if you are not sure, there are plenty of team members who will give you a helping hand.

    To clear the Nvram which is the equivalent of a factory reset:
    Navigate to the Nvram Clear with the arrow keys on your remote and when highlighted hit select,

    Regards.
    smiyako.

    do a factory reset or go to nvram clear on the "secret" menu by pressing UP+Power Button


    and if you see data transfer , you can try sending the software in using one of the loaders

    was that from a cold boot ?

    ie:- turn it off , hold the 2 buttons in and turn it on , keep pressing those 2 buttons for up to 10 seconds after the power on

    have only the scart lead connected , nothing else

    in that case get the technomate loader and v1.70 firmware from their website , set it going and try to reload your box with the factory firmware by switching it on at the back after you have set the loader running
