Hi, I have suffered what looks like a power hardware failure on Nokia Dbox2 (2x Avia) running Sportster 1.7+ uk005. The problem started when the picture froze and the only way to restart it was to unpluf it and the plug it back in. However, when plugged back in - no power anymore- no LCD display - absolutely nothing. Is there an easy way to get this repaired? Can you recommend anyone? or just skip it? I have opened the box up and cannot see any visible signs of burnt components around the power area. manny_v Help much appreciated.
Check the soldered fuse inside the nokia. Unplug first. If looks like this http://www.kovac.de/eshop/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=52 (Sicherung -> fuse)
Hi mgb17, Thanks for your help so far . Much appreciated. I have located the "soldered fuse" like the one in your link in the dbox. Sorry for the dumb questions but how can I check if this is faulty? or do you recommend that I try and buy a fuse and have it replaced? Cam I purchase this fuse in the UK or do I need to order it from Germany? To replace the fuse - is it just a matter of unsoldering the existing one and soldering a new one on the box? Thanks
Let the fuse check from a TV repair shop or such thing else. You should dismantle the dbox. The fuse have to be desoldered and resoldered from underneath of the mainboard. Here is a tut for a nokia dismantling: http://www.dbox2.net/html/body_demontage.html Don't cut anything. The tut is for a hdd set and you don't have to cut anything as showed at the end of the pictures.
mgb17 Thanks for your help. I will have the fuse looked at by a qualified repair person. Final question - is the fuse only available from Germany or can I buy an equivalent in th UK. Thanks again.
