View Sat Ultra blank

[pager06]

Does anyone know how to fix the View Sat Ultra. I just put in the new code for BEV and DN. After entering it, the screen froze and then went black. The receiver was turned off, and when turned back on it is now blank and will not load anything up.

Can anyone help me or is my receiver pooched.

reload the latest file fix with the null modem cable and loader to the box...
first power off from the back -isolate from all power sources -disconnect from plug in source-power back up..dl clean file fix and reload via loader n null cable...reboot after clean install..
if NOT you will need to factory default and start over again...let us know if you get it going ...

I attempted to use the null cable but unfortunately my computer does not have enough serial cable jacks for me to use. I have one, and that's being used by my monitor. Is there any other suggestions, or will I have to take it somewhere to get fixed?

The monitor connector and a serial connector are 2 different things. If your PC doesnt have a serial connector (most new PCs dont have them) you are going to need a compatible USB to serial cable.

If you need an adaptor from Serial to Usb, her are good ones.
Using Vista use Keyspan.
Using XP use Nexxtech

Hope this helps.

You can use the usb port when loading the new Bin, for the factory files you have to use the serial cable that came with the receiver.

Hope this helps you.

If your receiver is 'frozen' and you dont have access to the menu, you are not going to be able to use the USB.
You need to connect your receiver to your computer using the Null Modem cable that came with your receiver.
