had it happen to me do exactly what apoc said you will be allright

everyone should know that loading a factory bin can fix the following problems
1) cant turn on ur reciver
2) you see an error messege
3) you cant autoroll
4) remote not working
5) cant load a regular bin
6) cant turn off reciver

everyone should know that, factory bin can fix the simplest and sometimes harders problems

you should always try a hard reboot with the switch on back first, could save you a lot of work. if that does nothing follow apoc's advice.

sorry to bring up an old thread... but I just received my ultra and i think it failed on the PFTAUSW file because now all i get is a black screen with 8888 on the receiver, switching power switch on/off does nothing.. its dead. I'm away for school and only have laptop so I can't use a null cable to revive it with the bin file, is there any other way of doing this??

sounds like your pc is not connected to the receiver
what kind of cable are you using

**Spiderbait** · September 18th, 2008

pretty sure the one that came with it. but not positive.

**bigevil69** · September 18th, 2008

the computer you are using have serial port or are you using usb adapter

**Spiderbait** · September 18th, 2008

serial port it has 2 9 pin serial ports just tried other 1 and got initization error

**bigevil69** · September 18th, 2008

check the folder you have the loader2 in and make sure there is a file called .dll in it

**Spiderbait** · September 18th, 2008
