Brightness too low

[3fingers]

Well I have been successfully using my box now for 1 yr and have had no problems thanks to this amazing forum. Now I need you help. I have managed to turn the brightness down to the point where I can not see the screen on my tv. Is there any way to reset with the remote?? I'm lost on this one and the kids are all over me on this one.

Which firmware are you using ?

I'm using P61.

Great ... here is two methods :
Blind navigation to raise brightness as indicated here.
Or telnet to the PBO and clear your setting as indicated here (simply clear /usr/local/etc/dvdplayer folder except for dmem.bin file).

Best of luck

Well the blind method did not work will have to try the telnet method later. If there is any other easier way I would love it but beggars can't be choosers. Thanks for your effort regardless.

Is there possibly a blind method for the contrast maybe that would help. Not having any luck with the brightness maybe the contrast would help. The telnet method is way over my head. Why no reset button?? Dam I miss my PBO.

I am new at telnet, but I managed to log into the box through venus login but I do not know how to implement or use sqlite3 to run the command? Could you give me some instructions to do so?

Why not try simply clearing all settings ?
once logged in, do a "cd /usr/local/etc/dvdplayer" the "ls" to list the contents of the folder and delete everything using the "rm filename" command except "dmem.bin".

or

cp /usr/local/etc/dvdplayer/dmem.bin /tmp/dmem.bin
rm /usr/loca/etc/dvdplayer/*
cp /tmp/dmem.bin /usr/local/etc/dvdplayer/dmem.bin

Then reboot the player.
Best of luck,

Thanks much we are up and running again. Love the new firmware as well. aasoror thanks for your patience and thanks to wig as well. Would have gone to NCIX if I couldn't have gotten it going.
