Hello

my VN-F7100A no longer receives ORF1. Attempt to upgrade to m2.78_up_MDR_NL_81_F7100A.bin using VisionTools_2-9.exe failed - the file transfer to the STB was aborted while precedent saving the current SW to PC was successful.

Serial Number: D0509P000543

Printed label on PCB:
DVB-601BF
8600-6233-0001
B

PCB lettering:

F7100A-Rev0.3
P/N DSPM001303
2005.09.23

1-1353-6233-J001

F050920

ICs:
U01: KA317 (Fairchild): 3-Terminal Positive Adjustable Regulator, 1.5A (LNB power)
U02: AMS1117-3.3 (Advanced Monolithic Systems): 1A Low Dropout Voltage Regulator (3.3V)
U03: ST232C (STMicroelectronics): 5V powered Dual Channel RS-232 Driver/Receiver
U04: K4S641632H-TC75 (Samsung): 64Mb SDRAM (4Mbx16, 4 banks)
U05: n/a (most likely different layout for U4 SDRAM)
U06: IX2104 (Innosign): Clock Generator
U07: PCM1725U (Burr-Brown/TI): Stereo DAC
U08: AZ4558A (Advanced Analog Circuits/BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing): Dual Low Noise OpAmp
U09: STi5518 (STMicroelectronics): CPU, ST20-based: Single-Chip Set-Top Box Decoder
U10: SN74HC32PW (TI): Logic: 4x 2-Input OR Gates
U11: SN74LVC14APW (TI): Logic: 6x Schmitt-Trigger-Inverters
U12: MX29LV160BTTC-70G (Macronix): Flash 2Mbx8/1Mbx16
U13: 6E (?): Voltage Regulator (?) SOT89
TN1: Tuner (Samsung): DNBU10321IRB (nothing found on web)
CN1: (not equipped; JTAG?; all even pins are tied to Gnd)
CN2: RS-232
CN3: SCART
CN4: Front Panel
CON5: 3 cinch jacks (video, audio L+R)
CN6: RF modulator RFM-11 (nothing found on web)
CN7: PSU (Gnd/3.3V/5VD/Gnd/Gnd/5VA/12V/30V/22V)

Current configuration (Menu->3. Options->System Information):
SW : m2.42FS-1000
HW : 1000 -0.5-TUV0

1) What is the naming convention of the SW? In
m2.78_up_MDR_NL_81_F7100A
for me only "m2.78" and "F7100A" are obvious; MDR=? NL=? 81=?

2) Is there a special version sequence required for SW upgrade?

Any hint is welcome!

Cheers from Munich, Germany

I don't know if it is of any help but only files I could find mentioning VN-F7100A is what I attached. They seem to have some relation with m-vision boxes though. But it can't hurt to post it I guess.

m2.46_up_MDR_NL_81_F7100A.bin

Thanks, this seems to be somewhat newer than my 2.42.
I'll try to load it onto the STB as soon as I have time and will post the result.
Cheers
