2 dead 9000HD

I have 2 VS 9000HD and both have gone completely dead.

Receiver 1 would not power up and the cooling barely turns. No lights, no other visual or sound of power at all.

Receiver 2 began with issues of constantly cycling power and tries to reboot before any channel connects. This went on for about 2 hours before the receiver became completely dead. No light, no sound, no nothing.

My guess is that one of the capacitor have gone bad or it could be a resistor. Don't think the power supply was the issue because my receiver tried to reboot before it went dead. Does anyone have any ideas?

Any suggestions how to test the receiver, board, or power supply? Does anyone have a PDF that you can attach of the 9000HD board in relation to the power issue and how to test it with a volt meter?

Would really appreciate any suggestions.

This has always been my favorite receiver.

This file is suppose to fix the boot-loop issue......

fputs I would search out an electronics store and get them to check it out

You might look at the thread:
http://www.satfix.to/showthread.php?...D-Power-supply

But it looks like you have a good suggestion on another site

Thanks, I'm going to check out to see if the capacitors are bad on the power supply.

Usually the capacitors will be dis-colored or bulging at the top if they are blown.

Thanks,
Yep EC201, 2200uf 10v electrolytic cap was dead, I was in a hurry so stole a cap from an old Viewsat Extreme I have 4 or 5 of those around so should be good for a while.

That my favorite STB too. Any 9000 I have seen with a boot loop was fixed buy replacing that cap.

It worked!
Greatest thanks to everyone. I replaced the capacitor at location EC201 and now it works. The old capacitor was bulged on top as Mavrick stated.
Again thanks
