Sky Box Q
« on: 14 October 2007, 17:55:14 »
There was a loud "Bang" from Maria's Sky Box this morning, and it blew the (3a) fuse. It's done this twice now.

Skybox Fubar?

Where's the best place to get another, if so?

Skybox Fubar?

Where's the best place to get another, if so?

Out of interest, what model was it ?.

Check out this site:
http://www.satcure.co.uk/

They do replacement power supplies and there's lots of advice on the common maladies. Got a set of capacitors to replace all the ones of marginal quality in my sky box and it's a lot more stable now. Yours might be a bit too far gone mut could be an easy fix.
