    My System: 1M Gibertini Dish, 3 Quad Alps LNBs receiving 13E, 16E & 19.2E tied in with Minidish on 28.2E. 3 Dreamboxes 7020S FWP 6 Gemini 2.2 & 2.5. Dragon CAM 4.1, CAS2.

    Dreambox in need of repair after a fall!

    I have a DB 7020 that's been sitting here for a while as it doesn't work and wanted suggestions on what do to with it. Basically it fell off a TV from a reasonable height, and surprise surprise no longer works afterwards.

    It turns on, the lcd display on the front powers up, but shows nothing, and that's about it. The box doesn't respond to anything, or outputs anything. I've had a little look inside to see if there is anything obviously broken/loose/shifted, but not noticed anything. Would be nice to have it working again.

    Anyone know of someone to get it repaired, or perhaps further suggestions to look into the problem itself?

    Does it have a hard disk? HDDs won't survive the fall.
    If it does, just disconnect it from power and IDE cables.
    Have you tried to flash it with an image using a null modem cable and dreamup just to see if there is some sort of communication with it.
    Sorry I can't think of anything else since I have 7000S.

    No hard disk. I guess I'll try the null modem cable, never had to use one before.

    I also suspect the tuner since it might have a crystal oscillator which can be classified as fragile.
