Re: Freesat v7 combo doesn't start
Please try this
1. Rename file SW become flash.bin and put it on USB
2. Turn off your rx
3. Insert USB into rx
4. Turn on rx and wait. If doesn't happen with rx try again step 2 and push menu/power button.
I am sorry because I forget in step 4 but it work in my rx.

You can try the RS232 cable method to recover your V7 Combo.xblu7 wrote: I have tried yet but the screen is black and the light is green and nothing happen.

You will need a "Null modem" cable. You can buy or make one.
Here's a description of null modem.

Here is the instruction and software from this site:

I have done this and recovered my unit.

Thanks a lot for your answer.
My v7 combo had not the rs232 so i can't insert it.
Is there another way to insert null modem to v7 combo?
Re: Freesat v7 combo doesn't start
I thought that the V7 Combo does have a RS232 port.xblu7 wrote:Thanks a lot for your answer.

The V7HD does not.
If you have a V7HD have a look at this forum to connect RS232.

You can buy shopping online or satellite shop or electronics shops or computer devices shop.

Re: Freesat v7 combo doesn't start
i can't find it, i don't know how to find it. In Italy nobody sell this item and online aliexpress hasn't this item. Anyway i think that i'm not able to repair this decoder that never works good. I think that this decoder has a lot of problems software and hardware. I think this is not a good buy but my money was good. This item couldn't be on sell.Eak_Dumnern wrote:You can buy shopping online or satellite shop or electronics shops or computer devices shop.

Re: Freesat v7 combo doesn't start
Hello
I am also having a similar problem on my combo 7 only the back on /off works and when it load it reads 0001 finish nothing shows remote not working the button not working.i tried to flash it am using a USB- serial convector but when it says please reset the STB! I only put it off and turn it on nothing happens it loads and goes back 0001 with no display.
I will be glad if you help me solve this problem.
What these the STB means?
Do I need to turn it off from the front or the back?

Re: Freesat v7 combo doesn't start
If your STB normal reboot and normal working is OK but some problem still reboot STB. I recommend you to flash ROM is its better via RS232 cable.
after you prepare setting finished for flash ROM by cable then turn on STB and next press start botton to flash Rom on PC, wait to finished and STB reboot.

Hello
Thanks for your response I was able to recover my combo 7 with the USB using the flash.bin but for the rs-232 am sure because am using a USB rs-232 convector. Thanks my device now works

I found out recently that the V7 Combo has changed since I brought my units.
The early V7 Combo had a RS232 D9 connector on the back. The newer units do not.
The only connection for RS232 is now on the circuit board inside the unit.
This forum here shows how to solder connections to the board to use this RS232 connection.
Blue for attention of the Engineers;
Please add a three pin connector to this RS232 connection point on the circuit board during manufacture to allow easier use for people to recover their V7 Combos.
Also provide a cable to connect to this three pin RS232 port that people can by from your stores, Freesat and Aliexpress.
Please do the same with the V7HD.
An increasing number of people need this connection.
