REPAIR/ RELIABILITY KITS AND POWER SUPPLIES Grundig GDSxxx Sky Digibox reliability upgrade and repair kits for power supply.
Full Grundig Sky Digibox power supply units.
Check THIS page before ordering Grundig kits! Amstrad DRX Sky Digibox reliability kit for power supply. Humax 5300, 5400 power supply reliability kit = Relkit 35 Galaxis SAT500 power supply repair kit = SATKIT65 Not sure about soldering or recognising electronic components? No problem. Download our FREE "Beginners Guide to Electronics" from THIS PAGE NOTE: All kits are supplied with a list of components and PCB positions. In some cases these are printed on paper and in others you will receive an e-mail telling you where to download the instructions as a PDF file. We will not give you a list of parts in advance of payment. If you are uncertain about carrying out repairs, buy our eBook "A Beginner's Guide to Receiver Repair" (provided free with any kit). IMPORTANT INTERNAL FUSE: If this has melted, do not replace it until after you have fixed the cause. Usually this will mean fitting a SATKIT and a RELKIT. (Replacing the fuse and applying power can render the PSU unrepairable!) KIT CONTENTS: In general RELKITS (Reliability upgrade kits) contain only capacitors. SATKITS (supplementary repair kits) contain semiconductors, fuse, resistors. For a complete repair you may need both. Please note that a "kit" is not a complete power supply unit (PSU). Where a complete power supply unit is offered, it will be clearly stated and will not say "kit". (For non-English speakers, a "kit" is a bag of components - in German this is "reparatur Ersatzteile"). POWER SUPPLIES: Most of our power supplies are sold only on an exchange basis. As soon as you have fitted the replacement PSU and are sure that it's working (try it for a day), please return the old one to us in our packaging. We recommend using Recorded Delivery or at least getting a "certificate of Posting". Please return within 10 days of receipt of the replacement. Some PSUs must be sent to us in advance. Please read the relevant instructions. DO YOU STOCK THIS POWER SUPPLY?
If it's not listed below then we don't stock it. Please buy a repair kit instead. See list of repairers HERE if you can't DIY. If there is no repair kit listed for your model then we probably can't help. However, we may be able to supply the individual parts if you provide a list of values, ratings and dimensions. Solder Kit

| | FANS and TUNERS Because Thomson has apparently pulled its operations out of the UK, we can no longer obtain any Thomson-specific spare parts. The TUNER rarely fails - "No Signal" symptoms are usually caused by the PSU or Hard Drive. (We do not supply Hard Drives.) The FANS do fail. If you are desperate, we may be able to supply a very similar fan (the one next to the power supply) but you would have to cut the plug off the old one and solder the wires to the new fan. If you want to order one, please contact TECHNICAL. Before you get too desperate, try peeling back the label and putting a drop of thin oil on the spindle. "Is my tuner faulty?" First replace or upgrade the power supply, since this can cause a "tuner fault" symptom. If that doesn't help, our suggestion is to unplug and swap the tuner modules over to see if the fault follows the suspect one. If it does, then a replacement tuner should be the answer. If the fault remains with the same input, then it's obviously not the tuner at fault. Unplug mains connection before opening equipment. Observe normal precautions to guard against zapping the tuner with static electricity. |  |

Downloadable instructions provided. Parts require soldering. DSI6210 / DSI8210CS / DSI8215 only. See http://notonyourtelly.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6416#6416 for discussion. Have a look at resistor R15. If it has blown, the PSU has had a major blow-up. (The fuse will be o.k!!) this indicates damage that our capacitor upgrade kit will not fix. If the fuse has blown the PSU may still be repairable but NOT with our kit.

Other spare parts (see above for receiver power supplies and kits) |
 | Panasonic internal RF Output connector SORRY! NO LONGER MANUFACTURED |
 | Panasonic D814 in power supply. If Digibox is "stuck in standby" or LEDs are flickering, disconnect one end of D814. If Digibox now works, the protection diode is faulty. |
 | Some Panasonic Sky Digiboxes exhibit the following symptoms: "No Satellite Signal .." message when ITV or BBC (and other Astra 2D programmes) are selected. This is usually intermittent and can often be cured by flicking up and down the channels and always by momentarily disconnecting the LNB cable at the tuner "F" connector behind the Digibox (read notes before ordering!). This kit is for the TU-DSB20, 30, 31, 35 and 40. It will definitely NOT fit non-Panasonic receivers. Soldering required. The SatCure panafix2D filter (was ASTRAFIX2D FILTER ) will cure these symptoms and is easy to fit with just 3 wires to solder. If these are not your symptoms then it won't help. A download link for fitting instructions (PDF) will be supplied automatically by email from the shopping cart if you pay be credit card. Please read NOTES before ordering. |

Frequency, ripple current:100Hz
Temperature, ripple current:85°C
High voltage rating: 400vDC
Height, external:25mm
Diameter, body:16mm
Pitch, lead:7.5mm This capacitor cures a variety of problems and should be replaced every 3 years (approx.)
Requires soldering. * Setpal receivers are now obsolete and no longer work after updating the channel list! |

| Miniature low-noise cooling fan kit Increases reliability by circulating the air inside your receiver and removing those "hot spots" of stagnant air which cause overheating. If low noise is essential, simply mount it upright in an open area of the printed circuit board, using the double-sided adhesive foam strip (supplied). If noise is not a problem then you can remove the little plate from the rear panel and fit it there with screws or glue. Kit includes fan, resistor, adhesive pads and printed instructions. Requires soldering. The fan is guaranteed for 12 months. If it stops or becomes too noisy then we'll send you a new one without question or charge. (If it does become noisy, please try blowing any dust off it. You can also peel back the plastic film cover at the rear and apply one drop of thin oil to the spindle). More Info General purpose cooling fan kit with instructions for most Sky Digiboxes £6.95 (below) If Panasonic is "stuck in standby" only after warming up (and above diode is OK) or if Panasonic "jumps channels" or does other strange things, then the CPU is probably overheating. If caught in time, the CPU cooling kit may save it: Panasonic CPU cooling kit £9.95 (below) Panasonic TU-DSB20, TU-DSB30, TU-DSB31, TU-DSB35 Pace CPU cooling kit for BSKYB2500S3 onwards £6.95 (below) Grundig CPU cooling kit for GDS models £9.95 (below) |

| Panasonic CPU heatsink kit only Where noise could be a problem, fitting the heatsink will still improve reliability of your Panasonic Digibox, provided that you keep it in a cool room. Kit includes heatsink, glue, heat transfer compound and printed instructions. Fitting instructions can be downloaded. |

| PW00397 regulated "plug top" power supply for fans (converts 230v AC to a switched selection of low DC voltages). An alternative to connecting the fan to the receiver's internal power. Also suitable for cabinet cooling fans. |
| Choose delivery method | |
|
|
| Cabinet Cooling Fans (pair) The fans require a maximum of 12 volts dc (red is positive) which you can obtain from a small "plug-top" dc power unit. I recommend providing each fan with around 9 volts. They will last longer and run quieter. Either connect them in parallel (red to red, black to black) across a 9 volt dc supply capable of supplying 200mA or more, or connect them in series (one red and one black connected together) the free red and black then go to an 18 volt power supply capable of supplying 100mA or more. You can use screws but the fans run quieter if you can mount them flexibly - I use silicone bath sealant - but be VERY careful not to get it on the fan blades. You don't need to suck vast quantities of air through the cabinet - simply keep it moving gently. That way you get the cooling flow without dragging in dust like a vacuum cleaner! For more details please click here. Kit contains: two fans, screw terminal connector and printed instructions. No soldering required. |
