Is my DM800HD Dead? Experts needed!

[smirnoff_rules]

I thought dreamUP was clone safe. I have always used it and it has been successful in the past. Can you suggest others and where I can get them. I will try anything now to get this box up and running. Cheers mate.

They are on eBay, you can get them from RS in fact any electronic component supplier.

Make sure of the size though because high value caps like this are sometimes pretty damn big which would normally be better but as this thing is the size of a flaming matchbox you have to stick to the original size. This also means the replacements will not last as long as you like either.

IIRC they are 10,000 uf, 25 volt but don't quote me on that. It would be better if you use 105 degree ones if you can get some to fit.

I have the value wrong there, hang on Ill take the lid off mine and look.

OK, mine has 10,000 in but that is because I didn't have any 47,000. 47,000 uf is the correct value.

are u using a clone box ? updating from dream isnt a good idea then

Yes it is a clone and have now foud out that it is a no go , but are there anything to do?
I am stuck since i can not find the box ip. It is a friends box and have never been on my lan. And yes he made the update from dream , but i would like very much to get his box working again. Would it maybe help if i took it back to his lan , and then tried dreamup with his dreambox old ip?

There a number of things that can cause just the two ethernet lights to light up and nothing else
like the Lm2599 SIMPLE SWITCHER Power Converter You can try doing the wire mod see attachments
also check the L37 and c288 resistors(last picture) on the underside of the power socket
It could also be the the U6 Regulator
So as you can see there are a number of things it could be.... the easiest solution is put it on ebay as faulty you should get ?70-100 for it then buy another one or a different box.

Thanks mate, that is top drawer. You seem to know your way about the board. Are there any detailed instructions on the wire mod?

In the first picture P1 and p2 go to the points in the second picture
P4 goes to the point in the 3rd picture

check if capacitors are swollen or bulging on the tops, this would cause the problem you are having

[satlook]

thank i will try !!!!!!

i was having power problems with mine. went through everything was going to order new board then noticed the pins on the modem socket wernt fully connected! re seated them and all was perfect.

[tooloud]

I've seen similar problem with u23 and u25, boths transistors can cause this problem.

[slroro]
