    Replacement mainboard.. where can i get one?

    Good afternoon,

    I have an ET10000 PVR and this morning it stopped working. I believe I may have damaged the mainboard while changing the hard drive. I know I have 12v DC out of the power supply but the box won’t boot or even show anything on the display.

    Can anyone advise me on where or how I would go about getting a replacement mainboard.

    Sorry mate

    I also have a dead xtrend 10000 just sitting behind my TV. It does not power on either. I think its the mainboard. There is no way of replacing this as far as i know

    Crap it.. they're not easy got, it suited me down to the ground because of the HDMI in. I was a able to route a CCTV system through it and it worked a treat. My HDD accidentally touched a heat sink and it tripped the house, resulting in the box not booting expensive mistake i guess.

    I just sent Xtrend an email, I hope they reply quicker than they update their Facebook status ..lol

    Xtrend were taken over, so I kind of think that you may be asking for the impossible....
    You may also find that the newer boxes with hdmi in , don’t work as well and as transparently as the ET10000
    Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K
    .........FBC Tuners:
    ------------------> GT-Sat unicable LNB to 1.5M dish(28.2E)
    ------------------> Gigablue unicable LNB to 80 cm dish(19.2E)

    Would you have any suggestions for a replacement?

    Not easy ..... probably easier to look for an alternative hardware solution ... the Vu+ Utlimo 4K and the Giga 4K have hdmi-in ---- but don't know if they would do what you want and they are perhaps an expensive solution.

    To be honest, my initial thought was replace with another ET10000, but even here they have disappeared

    There is a nice white one in the classified section you could have a look at

    Code:
    http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?57805-Xtrend-ET10000-in-White-with-Quad-Tuners
    No idea if its still available.

    To be honest i would avoid any Xtrend before the ET7500 and ET8500 series due to that stupid battery powered security board they installed in the older receivers, knock the battery or wait for it to discharge and the receiver is only any good as a door stop.

    Fortunately Xtrend came to their senses and didn't use them on the ET8500 and ET7500.

    Xtrend did apparently say they were going to release a boot loader that would bypass the need for the security board. I'm not holding my breath on that one

    Its a pity as they aren't bad receivers.
