Hello all,

I am Dish TV user, using "Zenega CD1004iS". Past few days I am having trouble with booting this setup box. It starts with very dim and fast blinking orange light, slows down after sometime and and finally ends up with proper green light. This complete process takes about 5-10 minutes, which is quite frustrating. I consulted the experts and they advised me to re-install the software/firmware.
Can anyone help me with it? Is it possible doing it at home and how can we do it step by step.
Thank you for all those willing to help me.

Dear sir,
I hope i was in U A E to help you with this problem,
This problem has nothing got to with software or whatever the dish tv guys arre telling you to do.But this problem is with the SMPS (switch mode power supply).which is inside the receiver ,U should immediately change the power supply board.Now it is only blinking dimly and stabilising after 10 to 15 minutes,gradually it will deteriorate to hours and ultimately it will completely go dead.So please change the power supply or send the box to me .I will repair it and give it to you.iam in bangalore nomail@nomail.com

as instructed by you i got a capacitor 25v 1000uF SA + 85 degree C, V9

Dear RigthSameer,

Dear sir,
its nothing but the capacitors they have used is under valued i.e instead of 16v or 25v they have used 10 v .using 25v caps will solve the problem permanently.

Hi VED
I understand from your post that u hv idea about circuit of zenega 1004iS. please help me giving following data
1. the satellite tuner ic is used
2. the channel decoder is used
3. the micro controller is used
4. flash ROM ic is used
5. RAM ic is used
Better if you put a circuit diagram if available.
Secondly to convert the zenega 1004iS into a FTA stb hardware is to be changed at all or no or else.
thanks
