[QUOTE="NoviceSat, post: 837747, member: 390074"] Looks like my TBS 5925 has died. The red power LED no longer comes on and it stinks of halogen chemicals! I was trying to adjust my Sky dish and plugged the TBS box into the LNB to use TBS+Crazyscan as a signal meter. Unfortunately the (ready-made cable) BNC connector wouldn't screw into the LNB and it managed to create a short. Not sure how - but everything stopped working after that. My cheap Technomate box has short circuit protection, but it looks like this "professional" TBS box doesn't. Thankfully my laptop wasn't damaged - not sure if this would apply to the PCI 6925 version. However I am still gutted to destroy a $250 box... I can't look inside the box as they use custom screws with triangular (as opposed to flat and cross point) heads. However even after a couple of days the box still smells bad. Does anybody know of places that can fix these boxes? I didn't buy the box from new so I don't know who the original retailer was. In fact the serial number on the base of the box is so worn and faded I can't even read it... [/QUOTE]
