Just got the remote from repair (had the constant rebooting problem and did not know it can be fixed with hyperterminal). They fixed it. took the money. All worked fine - for 3 days. As I was reprogramming it it went into the constant reboot cycle again.
I am now trying to fix it using hyperterminal and these instructins from faq: --------- If your remote is constantly rebooting every few seconds, as in after you "CANCELLED" a CCF download in ProntoEdit, you can fix it via this method:
1 Connect your remote to your PC. 2 Open a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal, which is included with Windows). 3 Connect to the serial (COM) port your remote is hooked up to at 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no flow control. 4 Hit the reset button on the back of your remote control. On the terminal program you should start to see numbers such as "00 02 04", etc. 5 Hit the [ESC] key on your keyboard. A prompt, CABERNET> should appear. 6 Type dl ccf followed by return. You should see a slowly growing string of C's. 7While those C's are appearing, download your CCF file to the remote using the XModem protocol (Transfer -> Send File). 8 When the download has finished, type go followed by the return key on your keyboard. -------------------- I seem to connect fine but On step 4 when i press the reset button nothing happens. the remote keeps rebooting and there are no numbers 00 02 04 etc or anything coming up in hyperterminal...
