SV1 NO POWER

[mesmerized]

I have a SV1 box that wont power on, what can be the problem with this and is it worth attempting to fix? it has had few signs of revival, where it has come and then gone off.. by this i mean lights up, then switches off, but been off for few months now..

Just want to know coz its just laying around at the moment no use..

new powerboard is expensive cheaper to buy new box.. powerboard is ?55 and new box it ?85

In the other post someone has same issue and bought it bk to life with flash.. but for some reason this wont work with mine, even though the unit powered up with 8888 then when i tried to flash with new file i switched it off and does not power again

Common cap failure on the SV1 is the C11 on the PSU. Replace it for a 16V 1000uf cap. Maplins stock them for a few pence. Part No. VH50E.

thats 5 for ?55 on ebay, so if needed ?15 max for 1.

is it better to change the whole board? or just the 16V 1000uf cap?
