There is a way to fix the "Dead/Powerless" FTA receivers. You will either need to buy a FTA Jtag or make one like I did. It's fairly simple to make if you have a Radio Shack near by. You will more than likely have to Jtag your receiver to bring it back to life. I've had alot of experience in Jtaging and if you need instructions, I can walk you through it. The 1st. thing that you need is, of course, to either buy or make a FTA Jtag device. I will enclose the instructions here on how to make your very own and attach the Jtag need-to-have files as well. Hope this helps................

If you have trouble jtaging, use wall program first. If this is like the BL anti-clone code of the past, the flash erase used leaves DCU settings in odd place. Run Wall (ignore error messages), leave wall up when running jkeys, do not unplug STB when jkeys calls for it--just hit OK button, select flash type, erase and reprogram.

thnx tim, good learning experience, have to try it one day....
Strange that so many people keep posting the same comments on all of these sites. "I have a fix... blah blah blah". I guess they are not seeing that the majority of the problems are that most of the damaged receivers won't power up - which means it cannot be flashed.
That said... "E" for effort "john smith", but no help.
Anyone with details about a real fix would be appreciated. I have what I believe is a "real" Pansat 2500A and it is now dead. Of course I could be wrong - maybe it is a really good clone.
I have a pansat 2500a all the PPV are down for the past few weaks. and i got no idea on were to find the bin to fix this problem can someone please direct me were to go i would gladly appricate it.

Many people have revived their "dead" receivers...some were sucessful with "john Smith" method...and others had to Jag it...I posted this 1000x today to jtag it with the How To's but noobody listens here....too busy bashing and blaming,why listen...it would be a new milestone for most of the idiots here!...If U're too stupid to NOT use keymaster or an autoroll, and constantly neeeded to ask for the Dishnet keys...then U definitely will not revive your receivers that U all killed yourselves!...90% here can't do anything for themselves,except sit on a couch and watch free TV..
