Patched my mates new tm1600.added channels and set up favorites.Everything spot on.Went for a shower and left it on,when I came back the machine was off.When I turn it back on the 4/5 lights on the bottom show for a split second then go off.Could a fuse have gone or does anyone have any ideas how to fix.I have patched and updated software keys on tm 1500/1600 many times for myself nephew and friends.This was brand new and I guess even though the the guy that sold my friend it had a how to patch cd and lead will not accept this back as warranty will be void by patching.Any help much appreciated.

common problem with the latest patch

use the serial cable and reload the last official firmware , then load the previous patch over it

that should fix it

I hope you made a backup of the channel list or else you may need to start again

Just a thought if it does not power up how do you patch with official software or will it still patch once I turn the power on at the back.

get the loader to talk at the box , then try switching it on and hopefully it will start loading
