    Default dead 7020

    i have a 7020 that was fine yesterday morning, and dead last night, without doing a thing to it

    ive replaces the power supply with another one that i know is good but its still the same

    ive disconnected all the HDD etc and nothing, not even a reply when trying to use dreamup

    when the power is disconnected, after about 20 seconds the orange display will flash twice, as if the last charge in the power supply fails, this is on both supplies that ive checked and both are fine

    so, this tells me something on the main board has packed in

    would anyone know where i begin?

    cheers for looking

    In your good dream measure all the rails of the power supply to main board
    and do the same in the bad 7020 and if one of the rails is missing or has a considerable drop then you trace it along till you find the shorted component
    When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all

    the lnb is a quad connected to the 7020, and 800 and a 600, the 800 is connected to an anti surge circuit for the power and the LNB, this then also earths the other 3 receivers connected as well

    the mains coming into the property is PME so any earth fault on the mains would have also affected the neutral, and blown all 3 boxes

    ill try vest4less suggestion over the weekend as i know the 2 power supplies are both ok

    thanks for the help guys
