Hi Forum.

As i have no place else to turn to, pleace forgive me for trying to get help here in this forum...


So my dear old DB7020 died on me yesterday...

For a long time now, it have been acting up, errasing settings and flash and so on from time to time.
So i started to turn it off at night to save the dreambox from heavy uptime...
It is about 7 years old and have pretty mutch been running 24/7 all these years...

Now when i turn it on with the power-button in the back, there is light in the display, but NOTHING else...

At first i thought it was perhaps only faulty display, but there is also no ethernet comunication, so the reciver looks pretty dead...

The ONLY thing i can do is to turn on and off the light in the display with the standby button in the front of the reciver...


Pleace people, have you tried anything like this, and do you have any thoughts about this issue at all ??
Anything i can try to correct the issue ??

I am thinking it perhaps is the powersupply that is faulty, but i think it will be a bad deal to try and replace that, and then discover it was in fact something on the main board instead...Posted Image

If you have any knowledge about repairing DB7020, or know of any forum or informations sites that have info on this reciver i will be really happy to hear from you ! Posted Image

Regards
Peter

it seems, your power source is damaged ... usually error of DM7020...

Ok, thank you for info...

If it looks like a powersupply fault, then i will try to buy a new one...
I just didn´t know what a powersupply faliure would look like, i would expect the reciver to be 100% dead if powersupply was dead...
- but i have still light in the display... no text, but only light...

I have tried to messure the 5-0-0-12VDC to harddrive, and there are no power on those pins at all...

So you are proberbly right, it could be powersupply faliure...
