GTMedia V8 Finder V-71HD upgrade Firmware

[Nigelbstuart]

Hi

I'm trying to upgrade the firmware but it's just not happening

Does the USB drive need a specific file name?

It knows the storage is there, it's just not showing the file to upload.

Any suggestions please

Unpack the .zip folder and use the .bin file.

You can only use the V71 software on the V71.

I would like to ask whether v8 finder v71HD can use the firmware of v8 finder mate v73. How to update the firmware of v71 until 2019? Does avs+ and s2x support V71HD

[CAJE]

They are not very different

[67641852]

Does the V71HD support avs + and S2X by updating the software Engineer, update it

版主下载 页面的 V7 V8 db工具 下载下来用不了，我用老版本工具到处V71HDfinder的DB数据 v7hd打开 编辑了亚洲卫星列表 刷进去 点卫星列表 V71HD机器就重启啊 版主怎才能给V71HD 导入亚洲卫星参数呢？

For Asian satellite not on the list in the V71, manually "ADD" them and do a blind scan to load the TP's.

你们的V71hd固件。迟迟不更新。我看到隔壁公司的v8finder 和你们公司一模一样.人家的固件都更新到2022年了。不知道可以通刷吗 能告知一下你们这个v71HD的硬件信息吗，我可以人家的固件吗 我看大小都一样三兆左右bin文件，开机画面也一样

The V71 is a very old unit.

No other software will not run or load as each model has its own software.

For newer video formats like HEVC the unit would need hardware / firmware upgrades.
The same for newer satellite formats.

GT Media software onky for GT Media units.
The "Other" brand you have may crash if you try to load GT Media software.

Thanks in advance / tvsateq

There are some of my old pic here of the V71.

Which components do you need numbers for?

Owen

Note my hardware version is the very first of the V71.

Thanks a lot Owen!
how kind of you!
I could identify the ICs A308 (Mosfet) & 4953(charging IC)
great
Kind regards / tvsateq

[tvsateq]

correction
A308 = charging IC
4953 = Dual Mosfet

sorry

Don't plug the wrong charger in again, if that was what happened.

I have my 5 volt units flagged with red tape, both on the power plug and the box across the power input.
I once plugged 12v into a 5v HDMI switch and smoked it.
It is a pain when all the units use 5.5mm power plugs.

Good luck.
