dunno m8,, just done one of these today, and it sorted the problem,, probs better with the right one@ 40p of Maplins,,, cheers satcat
Just replaced mine and it's all working now.
Many thanks.
I couldn't desolder the old one, so it's just solder on the old ones legs.
I used a 220uF 35v so hoe this will be ok?

I have measured some voltages on the IC'sVU Reg.jpgC807 & ICI this.jpg
I replaced mine but still the box won't boot up.
My Vu+ Duo would not boot up, the morning after a thunderstorm night. Hence maybe a high voltage thru the LAN card (its green light turns on normally)??
The guy at the repair shop says that voltages coming out ot the PSU seem to be normal. But he says that processor seems to be very hot.
the metallic plate on top of the processor s very hot - you can not keep your thumb for more than 2 seconds. Is this normal heat for a box that s stuck in stand by? :O Maybe the processor is dead? :/
If so, I would need to change the whole board?
cheers

Many thanks Rob for your reply - I almost ordered the whole 'motherboard'.
Before I order this voltage regulator in the site you pointed out, how can I test it if it really that one that needs replacement?
(I know it sounds like a stupid question, but here where I live the TV repair shops are not that capable of fixing these kind of STB... :/ )
cheers

You could measure the voltages. I recently saw a diagram showing the correct voltages, but I can't seem to find it atm.

Thanks for all the information in this post. My VU+ Duo has stuck on the redlight once, but started normally after leaving it switched off at the mains for five minutes. I suspect the box might be close to permanent failure soon, so I want to get the replacement capacitor now to be ready to do the repair quickly if/when it fails.
In another forum it was recommended that a 330uF capacitor should be used. Someone asked about using a 330uF cap earlier in this thread but the reply was to stick to the original value of 220uF. Any further thoughts on the best replacement capacitor to use.
