Hi.
I’m having a bit of bother with my Technomate 1500 CI+. It hasn’t been used for a while due to moving house etc etc but I finally got round to putting up the dish and disecq motor at the weekend. I’m pretty sure I’ve eliminated everything other than a dead box but I’d appreciate a second opinion particularly as there is nothing on the net regarding possible causes of death! Hopefully I’ve listed all the relevant stuff below.
I’m fairly resigned to forking out for another receiver but I wondered if anyone else had any ideas if only to confirm what might have happened as I hate not knowing!
Many thanks in advance.
Ian

- TM shows same signal (24%) and quality (15%) reading on every Sat/TP. The menu system etc works fine
- TM was last used about 18 months ago with Darkman patch and dish on the ground, pointed at Hotbird and worked perfectly
- Cables were pretty bad so replaced them all – No change
- Tried tuning to Astra and connecting to Sky dish – No signal
- Did a factory reset and updated the patch – No change
- Got the motor down and connected to the TM with a short patch lead – Motor didn’t respond, worked fine with the Echostar
- Opened the TM, no obvious signs of shorting on the boards
- Tried impact engineering!!!
- Motor, dish and Lnb are working perfectly via USALS with an old Echostar receiver
