Hi Guys ,

as the title says on this post , for over 3/4 days not been able to use my Vu Duo +
I was watching tv on it then it froze so as i would have to do sometimes i just turned it off from rear button on stb. turned back on and all i was getting was black screen and noticed on front panel was not getting Vu Duo+ writing anymore and no starting up................. message just red light on front panel in top left of front panel on Vu Duo +, I can hear internal hard drive spinning but thats it, has it gone completely or is there an easy fix ???

Thanks

Flashing light near LNB lead? You mean the ethernet port on the receiver?

Looks like you have the Surface Mounted Device type. If I were in your shoes, I would try replacing them.
Please ignore. Incorrect information.

It's usually the C807 capacitor (Written on motherboard) which usually goes. I've fixed a fair few and it's pretty easy.

If you not comfortable desoldering the existing one cut the capacitor so the legs are still attached to the motherboard, solder the new cap onto the legs.

Yes the motherboard will have to be took out, it's not as daunting as it looks.

Did you have a read of the guide Andy pointed you to?

Good quality 60/40 silver solder, you only need a 25 watt soldering iron.

A 220µF 16V 85°C Electrolytic Capacitor, 19p from maplins. (Part Number - VH41U)
