Thanks Llew for the great help, looks like I'll have to dig deeper. I did document the readings with the PS connected to the mainboard but neglected to post them, they are still fairly consistant in the low range.
Hi HB13DISH, I thank you too, unfortunately I gave my other receiver to my friend...
Hello friend's, I did install the new cap and I still have the same exact problem, no change whatsoever. Here are photos and also a chart of the voltage readings. I'll be doing some studies on electronics while you fellows are thinking this over. Thanks in advance for all your help, you guys are...
Hello my friend's,
I haven't received the new 400v 47uF cap replacement yet that I ordered but I did get a DCM and I measured 45.1uF on this cap, is this sufficient or is it considered a low reading to warrant replacement? Should I continue checking other components? What do you recommend...
OK thanks, I noticed they are polarized, luckily the PCB is marked, it has good documentation of the voltages and symbols, it makes it easier to work with. I'm hoping that it's the actual part and only part that is defective. I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers! :)
Hi, Yes they still exist but I don't know how, LOL
We have one about 10 miles away but they don't stock more than batteries, cell phones and electric tape if you know what I mean....:eek: They didn't even know what RG6 coax cable was.
Great job my friend, I checked Mouser and every single 400v 47uF cap is backordered, then I looked at Digi-Key and I guess I didn't search correctly, I couldn't find one that I thought would work, it's quite confusing when they have so many variables and series types.
So I followed the link you...
Wow! You are a blessing! :) I just might ask for the gift offer, I've been searching for the last 2 hours and so far found only information and a part number that has the exact dimensions and values. This is the part number that I came up with, it says that it has a blue outer cover;
Nichicon...
Thank you much my friend, I read all of the posts in your thread and found it quite interesting and informative too. At least my Manhattan doesn't have security screws, :eek:
I suspected the same cap as your's and so I will consider it first, once I get my Digital Capacitance Meter then I can...
Hello to all members,
I'm a newbie here but not new to the satellite hobby, I actually live in the USA but thought that I could get some better help from you pros, I've read many of the posts here and see that you are a bunch of great people.
I can't find any help here in the USA for these...
