Starview 2 keeps resetting every few minutes ? anyone got any idea's

[funkytv]

Evenin all,

Only just joined this forum, i was a member on another, but seems to have gone downhill with technical knowledge.

The problem is, i have a starview 2 'the box' over 12 months old and been working fine.
However recently the box started to turn itself off and on again every few minutes. Sometimes quicker, sometimes slower!

I have reflashed with latest software, that didnt help, tried putting the old software back on, nothing changed there either??

I have put a couple of pictures up so you can see the board itself, as far i can see the caps all look ok.

Can you get a replacement power board from anywhere ?

Many thanks for the help guys


The two caps you can see on this pic (C21 & U2) were stuck together, i moved them and they 'snapped' away from each other, cant see any other damage though.

big black PSU capacitor in the bottom of last picture is blown - you can see the electrolyte has leaked over the circuit board. remove and replace with a soldering iron.
