[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 793778, member: 176362"] My old Chinese built Amstrad DRX500i Sky Italia box has finally died. (made in 2005 on the sticker) It started a few weeks ago when the picture started rolling badly any time there were large amounts of white on the screen. Its refusing to do anything except search for a signal now. Id guessed what the problem was - and having popped the top off my guess was confirmed - there are two bulging capacitors in the power supply subsystem. (The two big ones to the left of the blue transformer if anyone is interested). Recently it was only being used to view NHK World so its no real loss - and I'll just wire in the old Echostar 3000 again to replace it.. Ah well - another bit of broken satellite kit to sling in the scrap bin up the local tip...... [/QUOTE]
