What model type is the Max you have just fixed and what firmware revision have you used?

Replaced the c14 cap with the 16v 1000uf cap but all i get is a quick flash of line on the box screen.The one that came off is a 6.3v cap is it right to replace it with the 16v one. No lights on the box and wont let me download software to the box also nothing on the tv from the box.Can anyone advise please.

The one taken of was raised but was a 6.3v one is it right i should be replacing it with a 16v one as stated.I have a eurovox max 2 the blue one,can anyone advise please.Ps no lights on box.

[satsmo]

Yes its the right cap to replace it with. Seen your other post, where did you get the box? Have you tried a Jtag? And have you checked the voltages from the PSU?

[chuckles53]

Just about to buy the jtag tool,will this let me download the software to the box even though it is dead.Also what is the psu and how do i check this.One other thing what is the boot loader as i was told it could be this or is the jtag to fix this,thanks phil.

The box is a friends which at first the 3 lights were comeing on now and again but when i changed the c14 cap the box does nothing,is this right.

l use the jtag tool and was soon as the jtag works l install the software with the serial cable .. l find it works just as good

[chuckles53]

WHAT LEAD DO YOU USE TO CONNECT THE JTAG TO THE COMPUTER ALSO WERE DOES IT PLUG INTO IN THE BACK OF THE COMPUTER IS IT THE PRINTER ONE WHICH IS THE SAME CONNECTION,THANKS PHIL.

i had the same problem, replaced the c14 cap and were up a running again, cheers fellas i was looking at an xmas without tv, all the best

[gibby2706]

hi sorry to bother you having same problem in regards to this standby button !!!! are you able to fit the vh50 yourself ????

[satsmo]

Yes it a simple enough job to desolder and solder the new one back in. But as with all caps make sure to discharge it first, although I doubt many do.

If you do not feel comfortable doing it, bring it to your local electronics/TV repair shop and they will do it for a few quid.

When you changed this cap, did you put it in the board the correct way, i.e. you will see a white semi circle and the cap with a - sign has to go to the white part cos caps are polarised and you must put the new cap in the way I mentioned.
