Coolsat Coolsat 7100 firmware loading

[drjohn14]

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.
Would someone be able to tell me where to get the proper STB tool for the 7100 and how to load the firmware with it. thanks drjohn

Found this in the threads but don't know if it will work if unit won't come out of standby? Post #5

Thanks for the reply, however,it does not work. USB thumb drive only good for update if unit can come on. Also following this thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air...i-cleanse.html you get a 404 error, thread not found.
Coolsat 4000,5000,6000 loader does not work the 7100. Will keep looking and/or hope someone has the original STB tool for it. drjohn

Loader for coolsat 7100 is the same as the coolsat 7000. Just found at another sight. Have used it and loaded 7100. Thanks for all the help. drjohn

Glad to know you got it running and something I will have to try and keep in the back of my head.

Wasted HOURS trying to find an update BIN file that I can try on my ailing 7100 -- and a friend's, which is ailing in a different manner, if a test run on mine doesn't brick the thing.... Is that something NOT done on this site, or is it my imagination?? Kinda unclear on what's worth trying --- numbers vary widely: seeing some say 1.16 is good and safe; others say 1.47 is fine; seems that 2.2 is useless. Perhaps these are simply because I wasn't paying close enough att'n to the posting date? Could be - getting rather tired of this (so far just a big WASTE of my time).

Anyone care to weigh in - who actually KNOWS of what they speak?? (Lots to ask, admittedly)

TIA
