    Hi there,
    I have an original starview 3 and the power supply has just seem to packed in on it. It was working fine for 6 months and I'm sure the power went in it during a lightening storm. I have tried changing the fuse in the plug but that doesn't work. Is there anybody out there who can fix this and how much does it cost? Thanks a million

    Could be a faulty capacitor, but as it is still covered by warranty I would send it back.

    Then that doesnt bode well does it :) Open the box up and have a look for any blown or bulging capacitors.

    Thanks, I opened it up and everything appears to be as it should be. Is there an internal fuse or something that could be blown that I can replace? Thanks again
