Hi,

I have suffered what looks like a power hardware failure on Nokia Dbox2 (2x Avia) running Sportster 1.7+ uk005. The problem started when the picture froze and the only way to restart it was to unpluf it and the plug it back in. However, when plugged back in - no power anymore- no LCD display - absolutely nothing.

Is there an easy way to get this repaired? Can you recommend anyone? or just skip it?

I have opened the box up and cannot see any visible signs of burnt components around the power area.

Help much appreciated.

Check the fuse at the plug.

Check the soldered fuse inside the nokia. Unplug first.
If looks like this

Hi mgb17,

Thanks for your help so far . Much appreciated.

I have located the "soldered fuse" like the one in your link in the dbox. Sorry for the dumb questions but how can I check if this is faulty? or do you recommend that I try and buy a fuse and have it replaced?

Cam I purchase this fuse in the UK or do I need to order it from Germany?

To replace the fuse - is it just a matter of unsoldering the existing one and soldering a new one on the box?

Thanks

Let the fuse check from a TV repair shop or such thing else.
You should dismantle the dbox. The fuse have to be desoldered and resoldered from underneath of the mainboard.
Here is a tut for a nokia dismantling:

Don't cut anything. The tut is for a hdd set and you don't have to cut anything as showed at the end of the pictures.

Thanks for your help. I will have the fuse looked at by a qualified repair person.

Final question - is the fuse only available from Germany or can I buy an equivalent in th UK.

Thanks again.

Its a normal standard fuse for electrical items and every TV repair shop should have it.
