you have the wrong format, use the rac cables that came with your jynx box, and set your tv to av cables then you can see the menu and change from pal to ntsc.

easier way and no cable messing is just keep pushing aspect on the remote and toggle through video settings until you get a pic

[drew23977]

well that must be it, i have my wii plugged into the only a/v on the tv so i unplug it to put the jynxbox on and still nothing but when i plug the wii back in, it says it is set on PAL now i cannot get a picture up on the jynxbox so is there away to get it from PAL to NTSC.
and why does that happen ??

is your tv set to pal or ntsc, i was thinking that all TVs in north america were ntsc but if the Wii id is pal then i dont know.

[dishuser]

did you set tv input to hdmi?

[iq180]

what do you see on the VFD of the jynx box, does it say on or noch or ch#.

[Anubis]

i did that i hooked it up to HDMI and it doesnt detect it and ive tried pressing aspect and nothing

As dishuser mentioned make sure your tv is set to HDMI. Once that is done press the aspect button once then wait for a count of 5. If picture does not show press the aspect button again and wait for a count of 5. Keep doing this until you get your picture.
Once you get your picture load file 237 and your good to go.

all it says is on

hook up a dvd player or something that you know works to the rca cables to test that the rca cables work then hook the jynx back
up and see if it works, if the jynx is in pal mode you want get a clear pic but you can see the menu, if not try the loader and reload
the firmware.

the cables are working cause its hooked up to my sub, i turn it on it comes up boot then on and stays on but it is like nothing is hooked to the cables cause all i have is a blue screen on my tv and im on the right channel

[Nostradamus]

you have any idea what file is on there now? re-reading thread it looks like you have factory on there at this point. So just load 237 using the loader and then see what happens. Not going to hurt anything at this point and if that doesn't fix it then just reload the factory and back to the dealer for warranty

[drew23977]

ok so at the moment i have a factory file on the machine, i tried to put the 237 bin on the machine aswell as others and this little pop up box comes up on the cpu screen (SELECT A FILE LARGER THAN SLAVE, CHUNK SIZE 0X00120000)

Ive tried other files but get the same message on them, is there away i can take the factory file off the machine?, below is the following steps i used to update

1) hooked jynxbox to cpu
2) started loader and hit connect button on loader and turned on box
3) connects fine and gives a list of options (ie hardware, backgrounds,firmware)
4) i select firmware and select factory file(north american), and it loads and flashes
5) i hit restart on loader
6) plug in to tv ,no picture, is stuck on (ON) tried aspect button with no success
7) tried HDMI, A/V and the componenet cable no success

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!! its driving me bonkers!!!

[drew23977]

still no luck on this , does anyone have any ideas at all

[dar]

Try to do the update through the front USB port after you unzip the bin to a USB drive.

[drew23977]

how can i if i cannot see anything

[homer_™]

It sounds like you have the factory file loaded, if this is the case the aspect button will not work..

Follow these directions to restore your picture.

I just wanted to report an issue with default settings of the factory file that may affect some people if they do not have a 1080p television set.

The default settings are 1080_25. I’m not familiar with this form of video grading, in North America we only have two grades of 1080 that I'm aware of (1080i and 1080p). If someone has a 720i 720p or even a 1080i TV you may to have to dumb down the resolution settings to accommodate your television set.

If this happens to be you, you will get a rolling screen and you will not be able see where to navigate through the menu.

Try connecting with the RCA cable first. If this does not work on your specific TV try another TV if that’s an option. If it’s not an option or you have no other options here are the directions so you can blindly navigate with your remote.

These directions will take you to 480i this should cover every television out there. You can experiment with higher resolutions after you have read that actual specifications of your television set.

To be safe allow one second before hitting the next button.

When the box boots up you will have access to the menu already: (out of the box there are no channels scanned so you are already at the main menu)

Reboot the box to ensure you are at the starting point

Hit the directional arrow down two times{down down} This will take you to the systems tab

Then hit Right

Down

Then hit ok two times OK OK to enter your resolution settings

Hit the directional up button 2 times for the lowest grade of 720p or 6 times for 480i

I recommend hitting the up button 6 times for 480i to guarantee a picture first

UP UP UP UP UP UP

OK

I have highlighted in bold the actual directions you can ignore the descriptions and just follow the bold and it should work.

Do not factory default or you will have to do it again.

Any third party file and you will be good to go.

Yep your right and with no support for clone boxes there will be a few peeps trying to upgrade the files and end up with door stops.
