I have just inherited a coolsat 7100 micro pvr and it will not come out of standby. Power supply voltages look clean, so I would like to load the coolsat 7100 v1.16 firmware, however, I cannot find the STB tool to load with. The coolsat 4000,5000, and 6000 STB tool does not recognize the 7100...

As I repair some receivers, I believe your problem is power supply filter caps going/gone bad. Look at power supply board and check for bulging, rounded tops, not flat tops on the capacitors. Replace any that are rounded. drjohn
