A Sky+ box stuck with a red light, would not power up.
The output capacitors were bulged and replaced but still no boot up. The main input capacitor looked visually ok but was checked with an ESR meter, it did not register a capacitance or a resistance ! totally shot.
New one in (circled below) and the machine was working again.
People are always asking me to fix things, which isn't a bad thing as I love fixing things ! The web is such a valuable resource, a diagram, sourcing a part, finding out 10000 other people all had the same fault and there is a fix for it ! I started my blog so that other people may see a fix for their problem or provide some inspiration !
