[QUOTE="MartinP, post: 15134, member: 175361"] I'd like to thank Zansi for pointing to our SatCure web site. We specialise in kits and fault information for Digiboxes. I'm pleased that it solved Snowy's problem (and I congratulate him on a successful soldering job). Maybe we should be sponsoring this forum ;) Out of interest, it's not exactly a poor design by Grundig that causes the failure. Nor can we totally blame users for "cooking" their digiboxes (although it's a good idea to keep them as cool as possible). As it happens, it's probably a capacitor manufacturing fault which is explained here: [url]http://www.niccomp.com/taiwanlowesr.htm[/url] And it's happening to Pee Cees too!
