[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 658970, member: 240839"] The only way to resolve the motor problem on a DM500 is to throw it away and buy a better receiver :eek: Not what you want to hear i know but its the only way :-DOH! The DM500, Eagle box, & whatever other clone that is derived from it are notoriously bad at motor operation. Mine lasted about six weeks before it got binned O-no If you want to reflash the box just use Dreamup and a null modem cable. Forget about flashing it over the network as its unreliable and has a tendency to fail :mad: There is a modified Gemini 4.6 that has had the time bomb removed. Where you will find it escapes me at the moment but it shouldn't be to hard to find :cool: If you want a cheap box that will run a motor get a Technomate TM500 or TM600 box. The old ABCom IPbox is also ok for motor operation :D There are also modfied Gemini images that will run on the TMs and IPbox :-beer Nano [/QUOTE]
