Fortec Star 5100 Diamond Problems

Hello

I've got a Fortec Star 5100 Diamond, i reset the unit back to the factory settings and then updated it with the latest software. After updating the box would only switch on and show -61- on the display, i can't access anything on the box i tried re-flashing the box but nothing. It's as if the box is 'brain dead'

Any ideas on on what i could do to fix it or is it toast?

Thanks,

Mark

I suspect it's showing the boot version (6.1). Make sure you're loading the correct software application for your model. Other than that, I can't really speculate on what the problem might be, other than a flash memory failure.

Thanks Llew, looks like it probably is a memory failure. I'll give it another go at loading the software app otherwise a new box is in order
