Was watching ssn and suddenly vu went to a red light. Rebooting etc it always went back to red light. Won't boot into enigma.
Think I need to do this www.satnigmo.com/2525/repair-guide-for-vu-duo-red-light-problem/
Anyone any experience of this?

If you are lucky and this is the problem then the fix is fairly easy. Follow the instructions and locate the cap. With some snips cut the legs of the cap as near to the top as you can. This leaves you with 2 metal pins to solder the new cap to. On the new cap bend the legs slightly and trim them to a workable length. Put some solder on both legs (just a little) and also on the pins of the old fitting. Because you have bent the legs bent slightly you will be able to see as you solder them. Note the grey stripe on the cap and align it with the pin coming from the grey mark on the mobo.
Easier than my description but good luck and enjoy the moment when you see the "starting". Done loads an its still a buzz. Good luck

Fingers crossed I haven't knackered it by rebooting a number of times.
