    Hi,

    I'm having trouble with a *view Superbox. Last weekend the picture started freezing, pixilating and the box would periodically reboot. I've tried re-flashing with different versions but nothing seems to fix the problem.

    Its not a connection problem as I have put back my old NTHell box and it works fine.

    I've read about the possibility of it maybe a faulty capacitor (c21) but I want to be sure. I'm not getting the problem with the digital readout other people have reported.

    thanks

    Bit early for a Super with cap problems. What firmware revisions have you tried?

    Hi,

    Just took the box apart, looks like its cap 21 leaking. What is the best cap to replace it with ?

    Should I just do like for like ?

    Why replace it as the Super must still be under warranty. Send it back to the seller for a replacement.

    I think it might be quicker just to replace the cap.

    thanks for the help Sc0user.
