It had to happen, one of these days i was going to get a hold of a box that wasn't working properly. I've probably bought/f@annied around with/sold on about 20 boxes in the past, be it dbox2 or dreamboxes, and i've been lucky not to have any 'real' faults to deal with, until now.
One of my DM500c boxes has no green or red light on the front. The remote doesn't work. The box is pingable via dreamup, ftping the usual stuff is all good, it's like there's a faulty component on the mobo - the infrad-red receiver maybe? The on/off switch also doesn't work and obviously that's in the same area.
I was wondering whether anyone has any knowledge of whether or not something like this is reparable by someone who has never actually had the need to open up a box before (i.e, me!).
Cheers.
[edit] - I should probably say, that as the box is unresponsive to the remote i control it via the web interface
So all is not lost. Works 100% if you discount the remote problems.
