    Kaon KTSC 570 combo

    The receiver suddenly stopped working!
    When I try to restart it, it shows a 'u' for a (very) short time then goes black.
    Do you know of a program that restores the operating program in it that maybe will work -that is, if it isn't a hardware fault?
    It stopped working when I switched from db-t to db-s, that's wy I think (and hope) that it is a software fault!
    With the hope of getting some help
    By the way, my receiver is a Kaon KTSC 570 combo -NOT the KTSC 570 co, that is the one with embedded Conax.

    Thanx a lot!
    I can't access the menu!
    What firmware will suit best?
    Where to get the right firmware?
    Do you really think that it will work when it all looks dead?
    I really want to try everything but feal a bit unsecure!
    Can you please tell me a little bit more?
    Thanks again!

    Hi m8s,
    I take it that noone can help me with my (damned) receiver!

    Or is there a technician out there that might want to help??? (Or someone else -you're welcome!)

    I've tried to load the software again, but since there's no power (correct power everywhere) inside the box -that's what I think, I get no answer when I try that! (Or an IC that has gone to it's creator)
    What tensions shall there by from the powersupply?
    I can't measure any errors there!

    Happy Summer!
    Regards
    /Olaus

    Download the PC upgrade software from _http://www.irkaon.com/tools.html

    Download the original Firmware from _http://www.irkaon.com/original.html


    I've attached the main files I think you need below.
    There are 2 different hardware versions of the firmware below, 43.61.65 and 43.71.65

    I don't know how your going to know for sure which H/W version is correct for your box if it isn't booting up. Try looking underneath the receiver for any stickers which indicate the H/W version number.

    Your probably also going to require a 9 PIN NULL Modem lead to connect the receiver to the PC via the RS232 port to do the upgrade.

    Hope this helps and good luck

    Hi,
    I'm am really greatful for all help I get (and can get)!
    I've earlier in the kaon working days written down the HW I have 'in case of'! And that is the HW version 43.71.65.
    I've done just what you suggested me to do -using a nullmodem cable and the correct original software!
    But nothing happens!
    And that is probably because there's no voltage at the precise right place inside the receiver -but who knows?!
    So I just wonder, does anyone know of a certain component that often has to be replaced (as with the famous capacitor in the Nokia 9802S)
    By the way, my receiver is a Kaon KTSC 570 combo -NOT the KTSC 570 co, that is the one with embedded Conax.


    Thanks and regards
    /olaus

    Now I've tested again -this time with this, what seems to be an excelent update tool. It says when I push 'Next' -'testing serial port' and then 'serial port probe error'. I take it that there's no connection 'cause there's no voltage in the right place in the stb. Or .................
    More help please
    Regards
    /olaus

    By the way again!
    Does anyone know where I can get a schematic of som part(s) of the receiver?
    Of some of the printed circuits maybe??
    May the Force be with us .................
