GEOSATpro 100c issue...

[hillsmi]

This box won't pick up ANYTHING...tried factory reset, tried Glorystar mode, tried All Satellites mode.

I know the dish aligment and cabling is good, because it is used for another FTA box, but when I tried connecting this older box for a friend to see if it works, I can't seem to get it to pull in anything?

Unless I'm doing something completely wrong in trying to blind scan? I've tried different corresponding freq and SR, but whenever I scan, NOTHING shows up. Could it be a dead box, or am I missing something?

Help and suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Check the LNB IN port for voltage. Is it outputting 13Vdc on vertical transponders and 18Vdc on horizontal (+/- 10%)?

How do I check the voltage? Thanks

Measure the voltage between the coax fitting and the center conductor with a multimeter set to a 20 - 50Vdc scale.

Switch between a vertical and horizontal channel or transponder.

Well, according to my volt meter, the output from the LNB port is only measuring about 5.9 - 7.7 volts, whereas my good box, the output is just under 18 volts.

So, does this indicate a bad unit? Trash, scrap, or is there something that can be done to remedy?

Thanks

Maybe as an alternative to disposal, contact Satellite AV support and send it in for repair?
