Dear sir, i have a sirus starmate st1r. when ever i turn on the unit it freezes on the first page it displays "sirus satellite radio". nothing i press or do allows the unit to respond. it is completly bricked. what can be done about that? can it be reseted or can anything be done on the hardware itself? thank you for your support. regards, george.

The cases are not made to enter, they have an interlocking plastic housing that isn't suppose to release once closed. The unit can be forced apart at the seam but it will damage the housing,

as long as the used one is not actually a refurbished on.e The original ST2 has a stronger modualtor, so transmits very well. This modulator has since been ruled in violation of FCC regs, but unless there is an FCC cop, you should still be ok.

I had the same problem. If your radio is a kit and not factory installed in your vehicle it could be the magnetic antenna on top of your car. I had mine for about two years and from moving the radio around, or docking and undocking it, the wire from the antenna broke. It was not cut all the way through but it was enough to cause it to loose the signal. Check your antenna where it plugs into the back of the unit.

Your board needs to be reflowed. Just pop the front cover off, remove the assembly from the back and heat it up (non-LCD side) until you see the solder melt (it will turn shiny). Let it cool for 5 minutes afterwards. You can use a heat gun (set to 1000 degrees F) that can be purchased at a hardware store.

This has a 50% success rate. The problem may also be caused by an internal fault, like a blown fuse or faulty component.

The antenna that needs to be replace!
