Can anyone advise please? I have an AD3000IP which seems to be on version ESC1000 (at least that is what it tells me)
If I try and scan a satellite or add a new TP to an exisiting sat it finds the channels ok but then hangs when it tries to save the info.
Have tried updating the firmware to version 1100 but Download transfers the Firmware (apparently) but then also hangs and nothing is updated.
I have even tried a factory reset and this also hangs the receiver.
The only recourse is to power it off (this still works from the remote)
At least it retains the original channels (factory reset clears the positioner info then hangs but keeps the channel info)
The common thread is when it tries to update the sat and TP info.

Thanks in advance.
Pete

Try shutting it down, disconnect the power cord, disconnect the coaxial cable, wait for ten minutes and then reconnect in reverse order.
Switch it on and try again.
Hope that this helps. :)
The LNB might have become faulty.

Possibly a full TP/Channel database. The AD3000 is somewhat lacking in channel capacity. Delete a few unwanted TP's/Channels and try a scan again.

First post, joined a few days ago. So lets get a few facts straight.

Are you really sure you have an ad3000ip or do you have an ad3000ipva?

I had a similar problem with my 3000 IPVA on one occasion. The channel data base was full. Delete some of the scrambled channels you cant watch and try again.

Spot on to Llew and Analoguesat, I deleted some of the unused TPs (most of them and it now seems to work ok.

Thanks also to Llew for the PSU circuit, I also had a positioner problem caused by R27 (220K) O/C and not providing the initial kick start for the chopper, would never have found it without your help.

What a great site and nice helpful people.

Nice one Peter, thanks for the update. The Echostar 3000 is a lovely receiver I would never get rid of mine even though its been replaced by a Dreambox now.

Glad to help Peter. I like the old box so much I have two :)

I use the other for poking around in for fault-finding :-rofl2

hello from didier delaey, I am a retired engineer (73) and I have one ad3000ip.
I don't know if you are still there after so log time.
I am searching the schematic of this board.
the power supply is repaired, but the receiver is turning permanently when power on, and no succes to load the software through rs232 (ds232ac) -9v out.
I suspect that 1 IC is damaged somewhere when the power supply was triling and unstable.
how can I follow the receive data to the processor to reach the eprom u201?
there is a mosfet switch U421 IRF7303 who is not enable so the 5V supply is not going through ?where is the signal to turn it on?
what is the trim pot doing at the pin 3 of the opamp U952? +/-2V to 3,5, i adjust to 3.3V but no change.
I will check if the cd4066 is ok, I know it easy failed.
I know 2008, today 2022
best rgards and happy new year
