[QUOTE="leomax, post: 721378, member: 361920"] I would like to thank all those people who helped solve my problem with their knowledge, My Fortec Star packed up as previously encountered by others out there. Just the blue light on and no display, I read the suggestions and found the C201 capacitor on the power circuit board and yes it was bulging, I went to Map---s (full name witheld, don't want to advertise) and purchased item No VH54J 2200 uf 16v capacitor cost 80 pence and installed it today and my system is now working again. Also I noted another comment by someone that this capacitor (C201) blowing might be caused by heat sinks either side of it keeping it hot, so my replcement is now wired in using extended wires soldered into the circuit board and the capacitor soldered to these wires, this has allowed me to anchor the new capacitor to a plastic block that I have secured between the two circuit boards which allows the passage of free cool air around it. Once again thanks to everyone out there, One system saved ,cost 80 pence and a bigger saving to the enviroment. Cheers Eric [/QUOTE]
