Red Signal On T5

[zare6]

My T5 lost all blue signal on 119/110/91, the signal went red on all 3. I tried removing the diseqc switch and connecting the cable direct to one dish , i tried running a new cable , i tried a new t5, nothing but red, is tit possible all 3 lnb's went at once? We did have a power outage a day before I lost signal. Thanks

Could be your module

[zare6]

changed the module, I even tried a new t5

If you have 3 separate LNB's the likelihood that all 3 went at once is very low, I would try a new LNB on one satellite and see what happens.

Do you know what caused the power outage?? Storm, power surge, pole down, what??

[zare6]

I had a single on all 3 dishes and I just tried a dual off a dish setup I had, and still nothing. I dont know what caused the power outage, it was 20 below and snowing.

[zare6]

Another question the file I loaded into the new t5 is 104, is that the latest file

[The Noof]

Dish moved perhaps???106 is the latest bin for a T5, but 104 would at least show signal, assuming all your settings are correct.

[zare6]

I was thinking the same but the dishes are mounted on a steel tower cemented into the ground, all 3 are separate . Hmm where do i find 106

LNB's could have froze, or water at sometime got into something (coax or the connectors at the LNB's) and then froze, and like the Noof said, the dish has drooped due to snow loading.

Do you have a satellite meter?

When you tried a new T5 did you also use it's power supply? Or the old one from the other T5? (if they have an external power supply that is) due to the power failure the external power supply could be FUBAR...

I used the new power supply, i dont have a meter

[zare6]

Thank you, ill try updating the file

[The Noof]

Sorry...I missed your post about 3 separate dishes/lnbs.It would take a lightning strike or a wayward Soviet missile to take all 3 at once.Double & triple-check all you have done so far.

[zare6]

So I cut 2 feet off the cable and I now have signal on 91 . the cable is connected direct to the lnb no switches. for some reason i only get a blue signal using DVBS QPSK. I used the turbo mode in the past.

Is that the cable you said you replaced???

[zare6]

It is the original cable, i cut 2 feet off of it. I ran a temporary cable through the window for testing.

[The Noof]

Sounds like you're on the right track bro.

[zare6]

What made it so difficult was I had more than 1 problem, the cable must have broke near the diseqc switch in the cold weather and the diseqc its self quit working. Funny thing is my old receiver is working but I couldnt load my network settings into the new one.

I have had trouble loading the T5 manually but it works fine using the "Make2Dream" loader. You can find it in the T5 files section.

[zare6]

thank you ill try that

Did you get it to work ?Having the same issue all of a sudden. S and Q both 97 but in res and getting dreaded bad or no signal
I took all switches off and running it directly to the receiver. I will try a new wire I guess also

If you are getting the BAD OR NO SIGNAL showing up on TV Screen, then it is Most Likely your Power Adapter (plugs in wall)
or sometimes the HD Module maybe on it's way "OUT" (Heat Issues possibly as well)

I had recently picked up a used T5 for a back up so went and grabbed the power adapter and switched it out BINGO! Would never have thought that since it was on and seemed to be working. So that now has me wondering can the power adapter be bought by itself ?
Thanks so much!

[libspar]

Answered my own question. Quick Look on Amazon and grabbed another one for 16$
Thanks again all!

You want a Power supply that's 12v 3.5-5amp for the T5 to run properly, also if you haven't added Cooling Fans/Measures
to your T5 you should, I have a set of USB Portable Fans that sit on top of My Box/Receiver keeping it Nice & Cool

[libspar]

USB cooling fans, interesting. I will look into it

[auggie]

Yes a set of these: hxxps://www.amazon.ca/AC-Infinity-MULTIFAN-Receiver-Playstation/dp/B00IJ2J2K0/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2BZ6411QLJEO4&keywords=AC+Infinity+MULTIFAN+80mm&qid=1649203669&s=electronics&sprefix=ac+infinity+multifan+80mm%2Celectronics%2C 130&sr=1-1
