It just auto rebooted now. Anyway when you do get the specs I will check out the post off and on and wait patiently for it.
Thanks in advance.
input 50/60 hz .8A max
output 12v 2.5 A
I was wrong with the guess of 15v glad you told me 12v. I will look and purchase one of those soon.
It was one of those that had a plug then a box to a plug that plugged into it.
Not a very good because I just touched it and it is very hot to the touch so it wasn't just the box then.
Thanks in advance.

Update: The Model # RS AB025J00 is for the DL T5 HD which is a power supply
Please Note: I have the ones with the plug and cord that then leads to the adapter box
and then again another cord to the receiver aren't the best.
Which will be replaced with The one that has the wall socket plug combined together with the adapter and then one cord to the receiver, I found works the best.
I have a picture of it and if nobodyspecial will post that it looks like the right adapter then it will be replaced by that item.
As you can see by the picture attachment that would the right adapter to be replaced because unfortunately the other one that I have does not last long and could be prone to rebooting when it slowly burns out.
Also if you cannot magnify the pic attachment it does mention made in china which is also important to look at.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried to replace thr RG45 cable going from the wall into your receiver?
If not..
Try that...
Good luck bud
The picture you posted is the right power supply. Before I retired I used to take care of the DOT traffic monitor camera's. Between the camera and the DOT was a video to fiber converter (MUX) using the same type of power supply only 9 volt. 90% of the time there was a failure it was due to the power supply. For some reason it measured 9 volt, the leds would come on but there was not enough current to run the MUX. If we ended up replacing the MUX we sometimes found bad solder joints where the female plug was soldered into the board. You should be able to purchase a power supply on Amazon for a fair price. Also you need to keep the vents on your unit uncovered both top & bottom to allow for proper convective cooling. A usb computer fan would work great for you if needed. A small 1 inch spacer on the side will help keep heat down from units that might be under your receiver. Placing a laptop cooler on top only traps the heat in unless it's the fan type.
I have tried to unplug the T5 HD and then disconnect the RG45 cable and it still automatically rebooted itself so I know it is not the RG45 cable.
That is why I am going to try a new power supply thinking some wiring could have burnt out from normal wear and tear or from surges and spikes from the Hydro Company.
Thanks in advance.
Lionking:
Could you have a primary power problem and trying to fix something that's not broken? Hydro power is very reliable but it is not perfect.
If you do have a primary power problem most likely a small UPS will fix minor fluctuations, I have one on my security system.
Does your power fluctuate to the point of brown out? Lot of air conditioners running now and maybe a tree branch or two contacting high lines.
Have you check you house voltage and is it wired correctly?
You could also have.
1) Poor connection at receptacle or upstream one.
2) Loose circuit breaker screw or bad breaker.
3) Poor or corroded connection where Power company triplex (aluminum) connects to meter base or there transformer. The older 3 line setup spaced about a 1' apart is copper and more reliable. The Power company will fix for free, after all they have no problem charging you every month for there service.
4) Corroded aluminum housing wire? (hopefully not as it's a fire hazard)
Your Power company is responsible to your meter, You are responsible from the meter in. They will tell you if they are intermittently browning out if you call them. Also if you complain loud enough they will put a time lapse power meter in line with you house for a couple of weeks to check there equipment.
Is your problem frequent enough to take to a friends house or work where power is on a different transformer to check out? You do not need the RJ45 or the LNB plugged in to check.
Hope this helps, also sorry I didn't see the word fan in your previous post.
staticrider,
Everything else that is connected to the power or hydro is working well so it is only the DL T5 HD that has the issue.
I know that the Dreambox and the Dreamlink are both different boxes.
The Dreamlink T5 HD box I have needs a new power supply or power adapter.
I also have a Dreamlink HD Box that has the same power supply or power adapter, but with all parts maybe it is defective or hit with spikes or surges from the hydro line because you never know.
I would have to replace that power supply or power adapter.
Thanks in advance.
I had the exact same problem with the unit continually rebooting sometimes, and was also getting "bad signal". Problem was with the power supply. Plugged in the power supply from my second T5 and worked fine. Get a new power supply.
