duo clone psu replacements any good?

Monkey proof :-)

Well I plugged it in, fired it up and nothing. Just the red light.
Plugged the old one back in and it fired up fine.
Looks like I have a duff psu, any suggestions?
Anything you can suggest for me to try?

Should just be plug n play m8, must be a dud, get a replacement or yer dosh back :-)

Well after 2 clone vu+ duo's which can't drive my motor and now a dud psu. These clones are a crock of shyte.
Wish I'd spent the extra and bought an original from the off.

It is a learning curve and we are all on it mate.

It's the f****ng hard drive. If I unplug the hard drive it powers up, but if I have it plugged in it doesn't.
In the process of messing about my original psu blew as well so now I'm left with a psu that doesn't have enough juice to run a hdd as well as not able to drive the motor.
Bastard thing. Swear I'll never buy a clone again!

It probably works no problem on fixed dish so you could sell it on and it would do someone a turn. It would help fund a genuine you need for motor use.

I've been told that original psu's aren't compatible with clone vu+ receivers.

Would have to go to someone who doesn't have a hdd or motor at the moment.

[DOUGALMCD]

I am sure someone would be happy to have it.

what pisses me off most is that I've gone from a duo that occasionally drives the motor, to one that won't power a hdd or drive a motor.
Should've just left the f****r as is.

[DOUGALMCD]

I don't know how many times i've said that but hey curiosity. You'll eventually have more knowledge but you'll have broken and repaired a few along the way.

[septicsmurf]

Is it really to much to ask for a ?200 stb to drive a motor and run a hdd?
Don't know why the original one decided to blow whilst I was messing about. Can't see anything obvious, other than the skid marks when it went pop in my face.

basically i think this whole clone of a clone thing is a crock of shit dreamed up by ferrari to try and clear away posts of errors popping up on their forum. as now when ever any one says any thing about their box, your instantly directed to that clone or our clone thread.
