Tuner problem with vix v3 image

I have done a fresh install of this image!vuduo-Apollo.023-20150917_082001

It works fine at first but after a while i have tune problems if i turn off by switch at back the turn back on sometimes rectifys problem but sometimes not!

sometimes doesnt recognise tuners installed also!

is it image or box what can i try please?

Are you sure to have a Ferrari v3.x box ? Please open and take photo of the security chip... as your problem looks like that your box is not a Ferrari.

ok will take a picture of the 3.2 security chip

Ok, should then work with V3/V3a images, if you have issues I would test the V2/V2a images, if you have the same problem with both type of images then it could be hardware related.

I have had trouble with some boxes so too determine if hardware or software issues I try the following. Use Toysofts OpenBlackHole 1.4 and see if you problem still exists. If tuner issues are gone its a software issue with your setup. If it still persists its hardware. OpenBlackhole 1.4 is a good base to check with as always works well with all boxes.

Ok I'll try the 1.4 thanks for input!

Ok there's obviously some kind of hardware problem black hole 1.4 installed ok and channeled scanned ok then did a reboot wouldn't start left it ten mins booted ok!

So where do I look first power supply or security chip?

PSU is common fault also C807 on main board causes starting issues, but Johnny B is the best person to sort hardware issues. Link to his forum: http://jb8a8f8.com/support/index.php

I'm thinking on, check with a terminal as putty why it fails.
And if I think it's a hardware failure, and only when the box is warm, I would try to find the fault with freeze spray, or with a small fan blowing to a sector.

But if it's still have the original C807 cap, I would replace it.
Because this is the number one fault of these boxes.

And if that doesn't help, I would try another psu.
Nevertheless, because you say that it just works with a cold boot, there's a reasonable chance to find it with a fan.

Ok i have changed psu and the c807 cap still have the same problem also tried a different security chip, didnt have much look with a blower!

i have took the board out and had a good look on both sides and noticed this marked by the arrows should there be solder there???

That's just the cover, and is already soldered with the other two.
