Does anyone have an in-depth knowledge of the hardware of Nokia Dboxs? I bought a faulty one for a project to repair (i have a lot of free time at work and I'm not afraid to use a soldering iron!). The problem is, it doesn't do much when you turn it on - there is power going in, as the LCD does light up (if you view it from the right angle) and if you push power + up the screen "resets". I've poked about a bit and from what i can tell some "clever" person has tried to put a new tuner on it, and screwed it up a bit. The voltages on the PCB are present and correct from what i can tell, but at least one pin on the tuner is not connected properly. If the tuner was partially connected in this way would it give the fault I have, or is there more for me to find? Personally I would have expected it still to boot up if it was just the tuner disconnected... I look forward to hearing what you all think! Chris.
yeah, figured it has gone to silicone heaven!! I'll salvage the case and screen etc for spares then and bin the rest lol.
well i take it the tuner is working??,ill give you £15 plus p and p for it,were abouts are you from ?
Well I cant confirm the tuner works cos the box wont boot up, but it looks like it's a new tuner cos someone has tried to solder it in! I'm based in the Petersfield area (GU33)
