FTA Question stuck on "F"

When my FLU/ Puff boots up, it scrolls P U F F...etc, then freezes on "F".
Needless to say, I have no access to do anything towards correcting this glitch let alone updating to latest software.
I've pumped in old and new bins trying to break through without luck. I even opened the sucker up hoping to see if there was some kind of reset......again no luck.
Bought a viewsat ulta 2000 last week all is great now but I hate to just throw out my FLU. It is fairly young (2005) and hardly used.
Any suggestins on how I might get past the frozen "F"?
thanks....

Re: stuck on "F"

Try this file buddy. It generally fixes that problem.

Here is the Link -> Pansat 2500A 2500 PUFF Flash Fix for Conversion Problems by Ukronic

Then, write the latest PUFF bin file. I would download a different PUFF file than the last one you tried. It may have had a bug in it.

Good Luck !!

Re: stuck on "F"

What type of dish / LNB type do you have.

Most people can run two receivers off their dishes easily.
