Okay, here they are. There have been a few requests so I dumped my 2800 flash.
I also included a full memory dump.

You will find the files in two folders: The one is the extracted files from the receiver while flashed with the latest bin (at this date, its the 416, June 2007).
The second folder contains the extracted files after a factory default and reload of the factory bin.
6 million ways to die, choose one....

2800 Jtag Instructions

With power off and top open on the Pansat,
Plug the jtag cable into the Pansat Jtag header.

Plug the other end into computer.

With the computer on turn on the power to the 2800.

Open Jkeys and it should auto-detect it as a 3500 in the IRD box,
but you DON'T have to change it.

Then Click on Flash Programming.

A box will pop up saying power down reciever then wait 3-4 seconds power back up then hit ok, well DON'T power down reciever just hit ok.

Then in the Chip/Sector Programming, Click on Erase, and erase whole flash.( 3 - 4 times)

Then Click on Program, and select the 2800 bin.

Wait for flash to complete. Then Close all programs remove Jtag and reboot your receiver.

You will see lights or b-80 on the front panel.

Load current bin via null modem cable.

Is the JTAG procedure posted the fix for a dead 2800?
I was going to send my receiver to factory for repair but I rather fix it myself.

Yes, the files are for reviving a Pansat 2800.
I Have not tested this procedure myself because i don't own that STB model but according to the person that wrote the procedure, It does work.
