    Default Is my purple cam dead?

    Hi i have a smit purple irdeto cam that i think is dead. My strong box recognises it but every time i put in my card it comes up invalid card. It use to work but now nothing will work in it.

    Can it be reprogrammed or is it dead?

    i was thinking if it was dead either i buy a free cam for the box or just get a openbox x810 box that comes with 2 built in slots and they sell for cheap.

    G'Day Cobber,
    I wouldn't blame the CAM just yet.
    What card are you trying to use?
    Perhaps you are unaware that Foxy has made it that you cannot use 3rd party boxes with their cards.
    There are other scenarios that will prevent your card working.
    Perhaps if you tell us what card you are using, we can help you further.
    Is your STB a Strong SRT 4658X ?

    Kindest Regards, " The Druid "......

    I thought that the problem with SMIT cams was when a whitey was used with them not other cards? I used a select card with one and it was fine.

    I had a friends whitey during the card wanking stage to help him get it working. Could this have stuffed it? As i said they use to work before in the cam but dont now. Not even my trusty silver.

    edit: So i have done some more reading as per Hoes helpful post and seems when i put my friends whitey in it could have married the card to the cam so no other card would work. Is this what could have happened or have i totally got it wrong.

    yes, nihonjin a simple search on 'smit' would have negated the need for this thread ......

    in case you haven't worked it out:

    e17 = card marriage - wrong card error.

    there is no fix apart from a firmware update which smit does not seem interested in supplying.

    look Hoe how hard was that posting helpful info. Or is it your life mission to educate all people on the art of searching first. Im not a newbie here but still have a lot to learn so save your condescending attitude for someone else.

    the first thing i learnt here was to use the search button before posting......

    and, as you say, you're not a newbie.

    and all the answers you required were available with a simple search.

    i go out of my way to help a lot of forum members, but like most people on this forum, have little time for those too lazy to do a simple search before posting.....

    then please stop wasting your precious time here in this thread and leave this lazy posters thread alone.

    Your not the only one who helps people around here but that does not give you the right to be arrogant.
