Hello Gang I was going to use this Pansat for a few install and when I tried to turn it ON nothing happens no display nothing just the fiber optic port has a red light wish I can see is ON tried the loader it starts loading and when it gets to flash burn stays there for a minute and then says Fail, how can I fix this? is there a Cap or resistor I can change? Thanks Turbo

I've never done one before but you will need to jtag the 3500 Turbo.

and if jtag don't fix the problem then for sure it's a power supply problem there is at list two caps i don't remember the location numbers and also the big main cap on the power supply could go bad and has you stated it hangs when your flashing then i'm almost sure it's a power supply problem very easy to fix if you have a little bit of soldering experience so good luck

I'll check the caps, I recall doing a cap replacement on a 2700 a few years back. Thanks
