Hi,
I have a Dreambox DM7020 that I used for years without any problem. However in the last few months it started producing a strange symptoms.
The box intermittently just frozen for no reason. I usually put it to stand by mode after watching TV in the evening, then next evening I could not turn it on. It just simply does nothing, not reacting to neither remote control nor front panel buttons. If I power it off then back again, it shows the image's logo and stucks there. The only thing I can do when it comes to this stage is to refresh the image. I used the original image from DM, no emu, nothing at all, just the original image. After refreshing, it works nornally for few days, sometimes for more than a week, then it starts all over again.
Because I did not use any 3rd party software or changed any settings (apart from scanning channels, obviously), my guess narrowed down to the flash memory is unstable.
Does anybody have same or similar issue?
If it was the memory issue, how can I test the memory and tell the box to exclude a range of memory address?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
vda
