Broke my Mag250

[Geko]

Okay. Had it 2 days and broken it. Haven't even used it yet.

I went into the bios and reset to factory. Now I am stuck at the bootup screen on "TFTP Load". I am not a linux man. Any ideas on how I can fix it? Assuming I can.

Try this mate:

How to enter the BIOS setup (bootloader menu) MAG-200/250?

• Power off STB MAG200/250.
  
• Press and hold the «menu» on the remote (or the power button on the front panel).
  
• Without releasing the «menu» (or the power button on the front panel) Power on STB MAG200/250.
  

Change boot mode DHCP/NAND/NAND2

• Enter The BIOS.
  
• Select “Upgrade Menu” , right click on the remote control.
  
• Select “Boot Mode” and pressing the remote control right to set the boot mode DHCP, NAND or NAND2.
  
• Select “Exit & Save” and press on the remote control to the right.
  
• Confirm “OK”.

• 
  
  Change it to NAND mate as sounds like it's on DHCP now?

Yeah. I think that is exactly what needs to happen. But.... I can't get back into the bios. The remote trick won't do it and there is no power button.

You have to pull the cable mate - I had to do similar to flash mine from USB!

I did. Had no trouble getting into the bios menu previously. Now it won't do anything.

Are you still getting the tftp load bit?

Have a nosey at the bottom of this one mate:

Scroll down to page 38 which covers the process you need to follow, and there's a link to download mcast.exe:

• http://iptv.infomir.com.ua/fw/upgrade/
  
  Actually that doesn't irk - trying to find it now

Here we go:

MCAST

Unzip that somewhere, and then download these two:

Bootstrap_250
imageupdate

You'll need to rename bootstrap_250 to just bootstrap, and stick them in the same folder as that mcast.exe, and then just follow the steps in that thing and it should sort it out mate

[Geko]

Doesn't seem to work. I think you still need to get into the bios to do it that way.


Oh dear.

[reverend]

Not really sure mate, you could post it and I could try and sort it for you?

[Geko]

Fixed it.....! Thank fuck.

Use the menu button instead of the power button in the situation I have described above, to get into BIOS.
