    As I have already posted, I have checked switches and lnbs. My guess is the transistor blew due to someone connecting or disconnecting the Rg6 while the receiver was powered on. When I sold this receiver it was in working order, but was returned a couple weeks later with the lnbf issue.

    So this is not your stb but a warranty issue? Well dud, why are we going around and around on this? You left out that very important information! So than change the darn resister and be done with it. Don’t forget to tell the buyer to power down before cable change or you’ll be doing this again.

    I'm not sure why that is such an important piece of info? The receiver still has the same problem regardless of who actually owns the unit.

    I will be replacing the transistor as soon as it arrives, but this isn't the only transistor that goes bad in these unit's, there is another but I'm not sure what the name of it is off hand, but its right behind TIP42 transistor. I also wanted to see if anyone has solved this issue without replacing TIP42, but that's looking less and less likely. The repair should be finished by Moday, I will post my results.

And though I don’t suggest it, instead of moving the bad STB to another location move a working one to its location. You will fry that one also or not but that would settle the issue of it being a cable or switch. Like I said I really don’t advise it. Take the advice you have been given and work with it. You’ll save time, money and a lot of frustration. JMO
    I have already posted that I have tried other Nanosat Lite receivers on the same setup without a problem.

    What I would like to know is how he eliminated the rg6, the only way to do that is with a multimeter, and I would bet my pension on it that it is the cable. the connectors have to be checked, and the only way to do it is with a multimeter.
