Hi to all. I recently bought and installed a Moteck sg2100a. It was working ok until last night. The green light on the motor does not come on so I cannot communicate with the motor. Is this a problem with the motor? Should I check something from your experience? | ||

Nor me. | Check the F connectors - if you haven't routed them carefully, one or both might have become loose or got snagged on clamp bolts. Also check your Receiver settings haven't become corrupted for some reason. Can you tell us what type and size of Dish you are using and what Receiver you have? | ||

My System: hotbird adsl | Thanks friend tivu for your immediate response. Well to be honest I did not have much time to do some troubleshooting. I only checked the F connectors at the Lnb Input and Receiver Input of the Motor. They seem ok. Nothing in their way. I am using a 100cm aluminium dish with an Envision Receiver (cheap one). | ||

My System: hotbird adsl | Unfortunately no picture. I took the receiver together with a tv up on the roof to check. When I connect the moteck to my receiver then the green light came on but when i tried to connect the lnb to the moteck the green light was going off. | ||

Nor me. | Sounds like there is a short circuit on the cable from the Motor to the LNB, and/or the LNB has failed. Repair and replace - though it could be as simple as the centre core of the cable being displaced (at either end ) when you attached it, thus missing the small central hole in the socket and shorting instead to the screen. Check carefully .............. | ||
