Pansat Pansat HD-9200BL Femu

I came across a Pansat HD-9200BL Femu and would like to get it working to receive FTA HD. So far nothing I've done will show signal. Any ideas would help. I have three other 9200HD's all working well.

Swap power supplies from one of the working units? Ah, er, what all have you tried???

It had a second IF board that I removed. I also inspected all the caps on the power supply but didn't see any visual indications of capacitor problems. I have a feeling it was used to pirate direct tv.

Likely, but even win pirate software if the FTA TP's are entered, it will work. Caps don't have to look bad to be bad. When my 9200 'kicked' the bucket, all caps visually looked good - until you looked at the ripple with a scope.

I'll be checking the power supply closer with the scope in a couple of days. I've had to change the caps in all of my other 9200's. Primarily I'm wonder what the difference may be with the model number?
