    Mutant HD2400 Dead????!!!??

    Evening All,

    Feeling a bit devastated tonight. Story goes like this,

    I put my Mutant into deep standby this morning as was beginning work on bathroom roof and velux windows. I have come to turn the unit on tonight and I am getting no power what so ever from the Mutant.

    I am confused as it was working fine this morning. I have tried different sockets, had a look under the hood (attached images) and removed the hard drive to see if that was causing issue but iv got nothing.

    First time iv ever experienced this with many enigma 2 boxes i own/have owned.

    Can anyone offer any advice to what this may be or see something in the pics I am missing?

    Thanks

    It sounds like your power supply has failed and the replacement one you're trying to use is not big enough? I've had a few power bricks fail on me over the years. Easily replaceable with something from ebay. What's the voltage / amp rating of the original, and the replacement you're trying to use? They should be something like 12V / 2A.

    I have a light on the original power supply I am using, can it still fail? output on original is 12V.

    Yes they can fail. Just because the light is on, it does not mean it is working fine. Try another 12v PSU

    It should be okay for a short test. I'd probably go for it myself, but you really need to decide yourself. If you do go for it, just as important is the current that the PSU can supply. It needs to be able to supply at least the same as the original. I'm guessing the original will be good for 2 Amp?

    OK got so many power lead and adaptors don't know which is what but I've just realised I was actually using a 13.5v power lead to power the box, it was just a plug and straight into box not ac adapter. Could this be my issue? Has it blown something in the box.

    I know this ain't the answer to your problem but at least you can find the correct adapter.

    Don't understand what you mean. Using a 13.5v feed instead of 12v is unlikely to damage your box, but you're saying that you plugged something into your box without an ac adapter? If you've connected 240vac mains feed directly into your box you will definitely have fried something, but you would almost certainly have heard / seen / smelt it, so I'm guessing you didn't actually do that!
