For the repair of the tuner and other satellite equipment, some service providers provide a service to call service workers at home. In the case of self-repair, always consider the specifics of your equipment model.
Necessary
- - service instruction;
- - firmware program;
- - Internet access.
Instructions
Step 1
Find out the nature of the breakdown of your equipment. To do this, check its reaction to switching on, to signals sent from the control panel or remote control, and so on. If you find a software breakdown, check the official website of the device manufacturer where you can get the official program for flashing the tuner.
Step 2
Download the program, unzip it and copy it to a removable drive, making sure that its size does not exceed the size allowed for your model. Go to the service menu and start updating the device, while exactly following the manual that comes with the program or on the download page. The occurrence of such breakdowns can occur when you previously installed a special firmware program that provides for the presence of an emulator program for decoding channels.
Step 3
If suddenly you find a mechanical malfunction or cannot independently determine the source of the problem, contact the employees of service centers for the repair of satellite equipment. Also find out if such services are provided by your provider by contacting the technical support service or reading the information on the official website of the company.
Step 4
If you want to repair a mechanical failure of your tuner yourself, be sure to find a service manual. Without it, do not take up repairs at home, even if you have the skills to work with such equipment, your model may have its own characteristics, not taking into account which during repairs, you can completely break the equipment. The difficulty here lies in the fact that manufacturers and service center workers rarely provide such instructions for free access, most often they can be found on the Internet only in English.
