Magic Cam Module. Help please

otium · #1 (**permalink**) 10-10-2003

hmm, got myself a new magic cam, with programmer.

Of course unprogrammed.

I'm hooking up the computer to the cam with the programmer
and even gets the green led going...
Starting up the Magic Loader program to start programming, but gets the error message "unable to connect to module"

I've tried many times, and tried to reset the cam (on and off 3 times, and removing/inserting cam 3 times)

But still that annoying message.

Then! twice, amongst atleast 200 tries.. I actually get the "connected" message...

And there I got, happy... but for nothing...
cuz right when I'm about to start programming, choosed the file and it starts... it says "no contact with module" and back to scratch..

Anyone have any suggestions?

How to do:

1.put the module in SetTopBox (STB)
STB-CI-Menue: DreamLoad (ready for upload) or:
select "Prepare for loading" and press OK
"YES - Activate loader" and press OK
(now: the old file in the module is deleted)
remove and re-insert the module
Now the module is in upload-mode

2. insert programmer into the module
(green LED = power), connect RS232-cable to PC comport 1 or 2

3. start loader-programm
select comport in menue "Settings"
press connect

4. load file *.mbf by clicking "Program module ..."
select file
upload begin

5. remove and re-insert the module

Good luck

Than you, just one problem...

Is there a way of doing all that, without STB thingy?
since all i have is the pc, the module, module programmer and a digital satelite tuner .?

You have to insert the MM into the Receiver.

Good luck
