If your box stopped working after trying it on your friends dish, (and your friends box also has the same problem) then perhaps there's a problem with his LNB that has broken both boxes. There's a current limiting polyfuse on the circuit board in series with the LNB supply. They are supposed to reset themselves in the case of high current or a short circuit, but they do fail quite often. I have had to replace a few over the years.
In the old S9, S10, S11 boxes they were labeled F1 & looked like the one in the attatched photo. It should be situated near the tuner.
If you have a multimeter you can test the fuse (while the box is UNPOWERED) on the resistance (Ohms) range. It should read around 0.5 Ohms.Attached FilesComment
