Hi, i'm newer here. Bought recently a X96Max but is somethig wrong with the ethernet connection. With ethernet cable the internet connection is very slow, not even gets to 1mps, it only works with the wi-fi. Does someone having the same problem?

Have you updated the firmware to the latest version by selecting the FOTA blue icon in the Apps section of your X96 Max? That may help with your internet issue.

I have X96 max 4/64 and it's bricked.

There is no light when apply power (power adapter is good).
When attached to pc with male/male cable have SPDIF light and pc register "unknown device".
USB burning tool don't register device, have version 2.1.7.0.
Tried every combination to make usb burning tool to recognize device but no success,
shorting pins on hdmi port, pins on the back from Russian site, applying power and usb, reset button, no luck.
Burn card maker also not working.

Anything else I can try, I have no idea anymore...
Is it hardware bricked? It's hot when plugged in.

When I bricked my X96 4/32 I connected the USB lead, loaded the firmware in the USB burning tool pressed start and shorted the two pins (several times!) as in the Russian site. Subsequently, I pressed start, pressed the reset and connected the USB to the computer. In neither case did I use the power supply. Good luck.

Ignore this post. I was going to suggest using the Amlogic Burn Card Maker but I see you've already tried without luck.

Try a different Laptop just to rule out the driver installation issue. It does need a driver for laptop to recognize it.
During USB tool installation the drivers also get installed as something called world cup device.
You can even try a different version usb tool such as 2.6.8 etc. Or you may have a faulty cable. These are other ideas for you try.
Best of Luck.

This is not the first box I have connected to this pc, so we can exclude those things like cables, drivers etc.
I have RS232 adapter and connected to GND RX TX of the box but don't get any readings (other box is connected fine).
Anyone knows where are those pins, maybe I have connected it wrong?

See post 794 of the link below for the correct pins:

Tried that already without luck.
I'm asking about GND RX and TX pins for connecting RS232/UART adapter to PC
and see in Putty what happening when apply power.
There should be some readings even if there is no light on the box and it looks like completely dead,
but there is nothing in Putty.
Am I right, first is GND, second TX and third RX pin?

1. Open img 02.03.2019 in USB Burning Tool
2. Push START.
3. Short pins via pincette.
4. Connect device to pc via USB 3.0 (blue port)!
100% warranty if device hasn't hardware troubles.

Unfortunately I think that is a hardware failure.
Nothing works, PC register "unknown device", USB burning tool don't pick it up at all.
Found that one element on the board is extremely hot to touch, maybe that is the problem.
Anyone know what that is?

Hi, I have that same issue, but 2GB/16GB. Only SPDIF connector have red light, but my PCs didnt recognize and see the box. No luck.
