    If all I need to do is remove a bunch of capacitors and solder new ones, I can do that. I message the eBay seller to see what they want to do first but otherwise it seems better to just repair this power supply.
    Caps are by far the easiest component to replace.Be aware of the values & polarity.You can go higher with working voltage (if there's room on the board) but not capacitance.I have done a dozen or so now & never had a repeat failure.Use the guide Auggie referenced & you will be fine.

    If you plan on Repairing the PSB/capacitors etc. one other thing you probably should do as well is Add "COOLING MEASURES"
    Heat is a Killer to these FTA Boxes & the Cheap Components that are installed, I got myself a set of USB Powered "Fans"
    that sit on top of my boxes sucking/blowing air in/out keeping them Nice & Cool.

    I got a bunch of heatsinks and fans from all my PCs so I will add those once I fix the power supply.

    Just waiting on seller to see if they're willing to do partial refund or something and I'll buy a capacitor kit and get to work.

    I'll keep everyone updated, thanks for the help all.

    Thought I'd provide an update. I replaced most of the capacitors, but I still had three 470uF ones left to replace and a few others. I think I replaced all the 3.3v & 5v ones.

    The receiver still doesn't work but it's in better shape than before. The power LED flashes faster now and I did see the blue "booting" text on the front display, then it turned off. Hopefully after the last few capacitors it'll be working.

    im thinking if you replace the last three it will boot right up. remove the HD module and see if that makes any difference

    Capacitors arrived today around 7pm so didn't have a chance to finish the job, hopefully tomorrow.

    Ironically, my 2nd HD8000 arrived (I ordered this a week ago when I was told I was going to have to ship back the broken hd8000 but it ended up in me getting a refund so now I have two).

    Only problem is, I don't have any remote for these. Is there no way to scan a sat without remote?

    If not does anyone have a spare remote?

    one of these will work if you can find one: hxxps://www.amazon.ae/Multi-Sat-Universal-Satellite-Sonicview-Captiveworks/dp/B00B6LJK08

    Is this the correct remote? Listing said sv1000 but I’ve owned sv1000 before and it doesn’t have the black trim. Looks like hd8000 remote. Cant be 360 remote either since it doesn’t say 360 elite or premier.

    If you want to see what the original remote looks like you could download the manual in the file section. Black and white but an image of the remote. There were some originals to be had years ago but they have since been bought up.

    Just because I tried one for the premier for a brief time and nothing seemed to function. One could navigate the menus with the front panel buttons. Problem from my read is moving down to the sat scan options in the dish setting menu. Need the use of the color coded buttons on the remote. Tried a few different ways with the buttons but came up empty for the short time I messed with it.
