I had a power cut a couple of days ago and since then I have been unable to turn on my Humax box - any ideas?

I'd start checking fuses. Welcome to the forum. R-

Please furnish us with a model number.

Thanks - Checked fuse in plug - all ok. Don't know model number, but it has CE1177 on the back

Not off to a terribly good start, Junie. Without a model number it's going to be guess work. I have had nearly 50 years in the tv\video trade and it may be nothing more than a high ESR cap in the psu. Humax are not immune from this. I find it "odd" you don't have a model number, unless it's been de-badged. I don't know what the rules on this forum, and whilst I have a fully equipped workshop I admit I am not a Humax appointed agent. But I am considered a whizz-kid with SMPS circuits, (where your fault probably is)

Just be doubly certain you have mains going to it, plus some Humax boxes have a mains switch on the rear, failure after a power cut!!!
Reminiscent of Pace sky boxes, in the 80's. Caps would dry out and kill the primaries, not as painful as it sounds.| Wed 5 Sep 2018 17:00:56 #6 |
