vs2000 Ultra is frozen ?

[scuggers1]

I was forced to power off the unit from the back in the middle of a bin installation. [where it says caution: do not power off]

reason is the install stuck and stopped.

now I have four green dashed lights that are not moving when powered on - what can I do to restore function?

Thanks

Yes I am so ready for that part. Problem is I can't get more than a black screen and the display starts ----- then switches to 4 up-side-down F's. Should I just run one cables of the 4 that come from my DISH 500 to the receiver without the Disecq1.2 thing? I am at a total loss and I am sure it's something simple....Any ideas? I don't have the cable but using the usb would be no problem if I could get a menu screen.

first you need to align your dish make sure you get all obstacles clear from dish tree brush etc....I will post all you need on your profile check for notification no need to post all over the forums to give you the answer's ................

Thanks man and I am sorry about all the posts. I'm just like a kid w/ a new toy. I'm going to get the ladder know. I did turn the dish to a very clear area. I still have a Direct TV dish can it still be used with that Diseqc 1.2 thing. Well, we will worry about that l8ter.
Thanks again Super Moderator!
