problem | Guarantee: The capacitors in our kits are guaranteed for 3 years if fitted according in accordance with our instructions. IMPORTANT - please read Q. "My receiver keeps doing this and that. Will your kit fix it? A. We can't say. Please read the various forum posts about your model and check the capacitors. Click HERE for information about capacitors. Q. I can't solder and don't want to learn. Can you recommend a local repairer? A. See our list. Click HERE. Grundig GDSxxx Sky Digibox reliability upgrade and repair kits for power supply. Amstrad DRX Sky Digibox reliability kit for power supply. Humax 5300, 5400 power supply reliability kit = Relkit 35 Not sure about soldering or recognising electronic components? No problem. Download our FREE "Beginners Guide to Electronics". See THIS PAGE NOTE: All kits are supplied with a list of components and PCB positions. You will receive an e-mail telling you where to download the instructions as a PDF file. We will not give you a list of parts in advance of payment. If you are uncertain about carrying out repairs, buy our eBook "A Beginner's Guide to Receiver Repair" (provided free with any kit). Guarantee: The capacitors in our kits are guaranteed for 3 years. INTERNAL FUSE: If this has melted, do not replace it until after you have fixed the cause. Usually this will mean fitting a SATKIT and a RELKIT. (Replacing the fuse and applying power can render the PSU unrepairable!) KIT CONTENTS: In general RELKITS (Reliability upgrade kits) contain only capacitors. SATKITS (supplementary repair kits) contain semiconductors, fuse, resistors. For a complete repair you may need both. Please note that a "kit" is not a complete power supply unit (PSU). Where a complete power supply unit is offered, it will be clearly stated and will not say "kit". (For non-English speakers, a "kit" is a bag of components - in German this is "reparatur Ersatzteile"). POWER SUPPLIES: Most of our power supplies are sold only on an exchange basis. Place the order then send us your old PSU for exchange. We recommend using Recorded Delivery or at least getting a "certificate of Posting". Please read the relevant instructions in the Order receipt email ("Keep-me" message). DO YOU STOCK THIS POWER SUPPLY? DO YOU SHIP THIS POWER SUPPLY OVERSEAS? DO YOU STOCK THIS ELECTRONIC COMPONENT?

See our list of local repairers. Click HERE. Note: the capacitors that we supply have a higher specification than the originals. See our list of local repairers. Click HERE. Soldering iron available To access the SkyHD PSU you need to remove the fan, which is held by "rubber pins". The original "rubber pins" are not currently available and may never be. However, we offer plastic screws instead. Most people manage to refit the original "rubber pins" (with the tails cut off) by lubricating and pulling through with a loop of fishing line. The screws are offered as "insurance" in case you can't do this. (The Sky+ model has no fan to remove so screws or pins are not required.) FANS, HARD DRIVES and TUNER MODULES Because Thomson has apparently pulled its operations out of the UK, we can no longer obtain any Thomson-specific spare parts. The TUNER rarely fails - "No Signal" symptoms are usually caused by the PSU or Hard Drive. (We do not supply Hard Drives or tuner modules.) The FANS do fail. If you are desperate, we may be able to supply a very similar fan (the one next to the power supply) but you would have to cut the plug off the old one and solder the wires to the new fan. If you want to order one, please contact TECHNICAL. Before you get too desperate, try peeling back the label and putting a drop of thin oil on the spindle. "Is my tuner faulty?" First replace or upgrade the power supply, since this can cause a "tuner fault" symptom. If that doesn't help, our suggestion is to unplug and swap the tuner modules over to see if the fault follows the suspect one. If it does, then a replacement tuner should be the answer. If the fault remains with the same input, then it's obviously not the tuner at fault. Unplug mains connection before opening equipment. Observe normal precautions to guard against zapping the tuner with static electricity. Typical symptom: Channels with strong signals (Movies/Sports) are beginning to pixellate badly.

Soldering iron available Power supply repair and reliability upgrade KIT for Thomson Sky+ and Sky-HD Digibox power supplies DSI6210 / DSI8210 / DSI8215 only (suffix irrelevant). See http://notonyourtelly.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6416#6416 for discussion. Have a look at resistor R15. If it has blown, the PSU has had a major blow-up (dead). Check the fuse. If this is blackened, the PSU has had a major blow-up (dead). This indicates damage that our RELKIT capacitor upgrade kit alone will not fix. You will need the RELKIT and the SATKIT. Set item quantity to zero if not required. Although not strictly necessary, this kit is more capable of handling start-up surges from the Hard Drive. Upgrade your MKI kit to MKII by substituting two capacitors. Click HERE to go to the Thomson PSU order page.

Humax RELKIT35 more info Foxsat HD Freesat (single tuner) and Humax fox-T2 terrestrial HD Freeview receiver (non PVR version). We supply all 7 low ESR capacitors plus heat-resistant card to maximise reliability. Beware cheaper imitations. Foxsat Bulging C12 capacitor is not the only one that fails! 3 year guarantee on parts. Additional guarantee: If you buy a cheaper kit with cheaper, fewer capacitors, we guarantee that you'll have to do the job again in a year because they won't last and the others will fail. Replacing all seven capacitors and fitting our heat shield will guarantee Power Supply reliability for more than three years. See our list of local repairers. Click HERE. Various symptoms including: The usual cause of failure is the 2200uF/6.3V capacitor. You will probably observe that the aluminium top of the capacitor is bulging slightly. This repair is ONLY for the experienced. Click HERE for more info. Replacement Power Supply Unit for BSKYB3000 Pace mk1 SKY+ Digibox See our list of local repairers. Click HERE. See our list of local repairers. Click HERE. (We are not certain whether this kit is suitable for other models but, if your PSU capacitors have the same numbers, it probably is.) Modem to phone socket cable 3 metres long approx. All Sky Digiboxes. Panasonic D814 diode in power supply. If Digibox is "stuck in standby" or LEDs are flickering, disconnect one end of D814. If Digibox now works, the protection diode is faulty and should be replaced before you use the Digibox again. If the diode fails again, it's likely that it's simply doing its job of protecting from overvoltage, so you should get the PSU repaired. In any case, we recommend you get a professional repairer to measure the PSU voltages. Cabinet Cooling Fans (pair) The fans require a maximum of 12 volts dc (red is positive) which you can obtain from a small "plug-top" dc power unit. I recommend providing each fan with around 9 volts. They will last longer and run quieter. You can use screws but the fans run quieter if you can mount them flexibly - I use silicone bath sealant - but be VERY careful not to get it on the fan blades. You don't need to suck vast quantities of air through the cabinet - simply keep it moving gently. That way you get the cooling flow without dragging in dust like a vacuum cleaner! For more details please click here. Kit contains: two fans, screw terminal connector and printed instructions. No soldering required. See our list of local repairers. Click HERE. Miniature low-noise cooling fan kit Increases reliability by circulating the air inside your receiver and removing those "hot spots" of stagnant air which cause overheating. If low noise is essential, simply mount it upright in an open area of the printed circuit board, using the double-sided adhesive foam strip (supplied). If noise is not a problem then you can remove the little plate from the rear panel and fit it there with screws or glue. Kit includes fan, resistor, adhesive pads and printed instructions. Requires soldering. The fan is guaranteed for 12 months. If it stops or becomes too noisy then we'll send you a new one without question or charge. (If it does become noisy, please try blowing any dust off it. You can also peel back the plastic film cover at the rear and apply one drop of thin oil to the spindle). More Info General purpose cooling fan kit with instructions for most Sky Digiboxes (below) If Panasonic is "stuck in standby" only after warming up (and above diode is OK) or if Panasonic "jumps channels" or does other strange things, then the CPU is probably overheating. If caught in time, the CPU cooling kit may save it: Panasonic CPU cooling kit £9.95 (below) Panasonic TU-DSB20, TU-DSB30, TU-DSB31, TU-DSB35 Pace CPU cooling kit for BSKYB2500S3 onwards £6.95 (below) Grundig CPU cooling kit for GDS models £9.95 (below) Please go to our FAN PAGE for more information and download instructions See our list of local repairers.
