[QUOTE="IMnobody, post: 529453, member: 293282"] Your assumption of it being a "Real Dreambox", just because it displays a official hologram is flawed. "Clones" have the same security Hologram, as All the units were manufactured in the same factories in the P.R.C. The more logical thought is to look at the units "actual" Mac address, (and, not the one that appears on the outside of the box) If it start out with 00:12:25:xx:xx:xx, it's a clone, period. This mean very little, since there are other images that clones can run perfectly well on. It just means, that clones, should avoid Gemini's image products, like the plague. I don't believe this is you problem, I think it more likely, give the age and usage, of the unit, that your looking at electrolytic capacitors, that have lost their ability to maintain proper charge (dried out caps). I would ask, if the Lan connection has been a little flaky prior to this latest development? If you do wind up replacing Caps, pay close attention, not only to the value, but, the actual application type of device being replaced. You can juggle the voltage up a little, and it's a good idea to bump the temp range up as well, where you can. But, the device type is critical for continued proper operation. Good luck IM [/QUOTE]
