**wytherman** · 7th February 2007

ok guys, need help here

i have a pace Ditv 2000 box
card was fried, totally unreadable.

I have the IRD Number but can't find a BK.

Any suggestions as everything I have read points to getting this info off the card but I binned it ages ago.

HELP!!!! :mad

Never mind chaps, got the answer I was looking for in another post.

Have to get it re-chipped it seems.

Thanks anyway

You need to either use the 2000 volmeter method or remove and read the atties to get the BK.

Do you not have any other card that you used with the box, doesn't matter how old it is as it might be possible to get the BK from it.

**wytherman** · 7th February 2007

unfortunately not.

Wouldnt some really nice person have it in their database?

would really, really, really, appreciate any help with this matter as its gonna be costly to get the box re chipped.

remember its a pace 2000 not a 1000 unfortunately.

I really appreciate any help at all with this.

the IRD was written on the box

what does a BK number consist of so I know what i'm looking for?

it might be there to be honest but because i dont know what it is, i might not be seeing it

Thanks again for the help guys

Have you looked inside the box, some traders write it inside the top lid others write it under the main board so pull it apart and see if you get lucky.

The voltmeter method ain't that bad to be honest, if you are confident about soldering then it shouldn't be a prob.

EDIT: One other thing worth considering is if you got the box from a trader and somebody else you know who also got the box from the trader with a working card, it might be worth trying that card in your box as 2000 boxes tended to be cloned in the good old days so the IRD and BK for a group of boxes would be the same.

i have been looking everywhere for a tut for the voltmeter method for the 2000, i have them for the 1000 and 4000, does anybody have one for the 2000, need to know which points to solder.

Thanks in advance.
