hi, yes it seems the cam can get stuck in 'dreamload' ,

but no lights come on the programmer, however if you reset the cam a few times the green light 'should' come back on again, and thus enable reprogramming again,

but be very careful when using these ''unofficial pentas''

as far as penta 1.11 goes, the issues seem to affect inbuilt modules only,

but, have heard of a number of cams not reading cards after a while,

so again i say, penta 1.10 still seems ok, but be careful with your modules guys !!!

regards honcho

`but, have heard of a number of cams not reading cards after a while,`

Had one go like this tonight. Worked fine for an hour or so until i switched the receiver in and out of standby. Puts up the blue screen saying a card is not inserted. Re-programmed the cam and card but still the same problem.

What to do now??? doesn`t 1.10 have picture freeze??

I got same problems with 103 and then when trying to program the cam again I "invalid response from module".
However,after trying couple of times,I manage to program it with penta 109 and then with 110 all patced,and it working fine now.
So bottom line is that if you have 103 version,don't use penta 1.11 or any other higher fake for that metter
However,if you have 102 revision,everything should be fine as I programmed about 5 1.02 modules with 1.11,and no problem what so ever.
If you already fucxxd your cam just trying playing around with it,resetting it,putting diffrent lower version such as 109 or 108 or even 105 and/or try putting tetracrypt...it should work,it worked for me.
I hope I help someone with this info
