Also if you don't have a decent chip removal tool (not just a PC memory one!) you can easily break the side of the chip socket that will then render the board unusable...........

Don't ask me how I found this out with a 32" Avant motherboard............ :-(

The price seems to largely depend on the relationship you have with your dealer. Last time I purchased one, I paid £15 ... but I have heard of people paying £45 and upwards ...

Thanks Keith, much obliged.

Now for my next questions! My current STB-C controls my Sky+ box. Do newer chips permit control of the new Freesat boxes (Humax for example).

If so, how much is the chip?

Thanks.

Kokomo:
On the subject of the STB-C, I had mine installed in my Beovision 3 by a dealer. If at some time in the future I want to update it, does the chip plug in or is some soldering required? Is it a DIY job?

As shown in the picture, this is a plug in chip..

Provided you use the normal "Static" protection with wriststrap and grounded mat, then it can be done quite quickly. No soldering is required.

Hampus,

A Very Warm welcome to Beoworld..

The STB-C unit is a small box with the circuit board inside as shown below..

It is fixed on the reverse side of the rear PCB.

Hi,

I have an Avant 32 VCR without Set top box controller.

I was at my b&o dealer today and they told me that it is posible to instal that module. I know what i need and it is posible to fix. I just do not know if i can do it by my self.

1. I am asking for pictures and instalation instructions of the module.

2. How do i change the software chip for the television? If it is the old software in the television i need to change that module to.

Best regards

Hampus
