Tuner fail

[weimaraner95]

Looks like a faulty f connection or Lnb , have you moved it previously .

I assume it's a twist on f connection or was it a compression fit.

I had similar problems turned out to be both a busted Lnb and dodgy cabling

Had the lid off the box and all caps look fine no bulging etc,tuner cards are seated properly... before i resume what is correct order of putting cables back,dont want to put cables back then find i have missed one because would need to unplug all tv cables and move it to get behind unit 🙂

Also before i connect everything up,how do i test the tuner cards and the cables with a multimeter

Set multumeter to 20v DC scale.
Positive wire to the centre of lnb socket negative wire to the outside.

Is that correct setup

Yes mate 👍

Yes mate 👍

From that pic the the only one that gives any reading is the top left, cannot insert probe in the one on the right.

On tuner b make sure both are enabled and use a paperclip or sewing needle in the centre and touch the probe on that.

You may need to select a TP in manual scanning options for it to be sending voltage.

Respect for letting us know mate. Most would not reply or admit to it.

Good clean tight connections can make all the difference and this post thread also proves simple things get over looked and can help others out.

hope now you can enjoy tv again.

Glad you got it sorted, yeah in my case the Lnb was dead but the cabling needed replacing ( always get good stuff) you not got any compression tool)
Oh and my TM 2300 maybe goosed, took this all down last yr and only now getting around to putting it back up
