Hi LLew. Last Night I had another look at the problem. I tried loading the "LNB In socket" with a 120 ohm resistor while monitoring with a voltmeter. To my surprise applying the load dropped the output volts from about 18 to about 12! I didn't check to see what happened to the 22Khz but this...

Hi LLew. Sorry for the delay. The Power company turned the power off last Saturday so that they could prune some trees. Power was off for about seven hours during which we were running on diesel power! The switching transients caused my Firewall computer (Old Gateway P2-266) to die and I have...

HI Llew. Nice to hear from you again and thanks for the Info. Looking at the LNB IN connector on a good unit I can see what appears to be a 22kHz squarewave superimposed on a much lower frequency squarewave. On the bad unit neither of these signals is present. I tried yesterday reloading the box...

Hi Telstar. Yes I remember Llew from some years back on this forum. I sem to remember that he was investigating the 22Khz routing but I don't know how far he got. I do now have some official schematics for the power supply that could have saved him some grief tracing them out!

Hi All I have an Echostar AD3000IP which was working fine untill a couple of months ago. It suffered a power supply fault which I have fixed but it now seems to be looking for the wrong transponder frequencies. I suspect that the 22Khz band switching signal is not getting to the LNB, although if...

Many Thanks Cager

What is a Topic Tag? Cager

Thanks Mickha. System is working, I now have to see what I can find. Cager

Hi Mickha. Many thanks for that detailed reply. I think I have followed it sucessfully and I now need to see what I can receive. In the CAM menu on the Echostar it lists the various CAMs the Diablo can emulate but thy are all turned off. Do I need to turn one on before trying an applicable...

Hi DorsetBoB. Unfortunately the Duolabs website has removed the download for the CAS3 manual although the option appears to be there nothing seems available in any language. Should I have received a manual with the Hardware? Cager

Hi All. I have just purchased a Diablo Light CAM along with a CAS3+ programmer, but it didn't have any User manual or software included in the pack. Is this correct? I can't see any referance to a manual on Duolab's site, just a manual for the wireless version which doesn't seem very relevant...

Hi All I have a Viaccess CAM(Red) which identifies itself asViaccsess 1.0 478, Application V1.02, Pt No 901273. I haven't used it for some time and most signal sources now use Viaccess 2. Will this CAM work with Via2 or can it be updated, and if so how? I have seen the lefdata site which...

Once again Llew thanks for your efforts. With the aid of the circuit I established that the 21,30 and 5Volt supplies were OK but the 12V was down to 8.2 and the 8V down to 5.5. Since the feedback to the primary side was obviously working OK I changed the reservoir capacitors C24 and C18 on the...

Hi Llew. Your circuits and parts list dowloaded with thanks. I can now check if the PSU is causing the problems with my AD3000IP It seems to have a very high threshold for acknoledging that a transponder exists but if I warm the board with a hair dryer I can get channels which it previously...
