Amstrad DRX280 - Won't Power Up
Hi
First post is unfortunately due to a problem with my recently purchased (2 weeks ago on eBay) Amstrad DRX280 Sky+ box. The box itself is not very old, approx 3 months old so the seller told me.
However last night when I got home the red standby list was not on at all. So I checked the leads, changed the fuse in the plug and tried the lead from the box in the bedroom - no joy!
I've been with Sky for about 8 years now and only had to replace my old Pace Sky+ box as it failed after 5 years of good service! Obviously I'm reluctant to call sky and arrange for an engineer at £65. I have emailed the seller on eBay, but I'm not expecting too much joy from him as he states no returns on his listing.
I have tried the usual full reset and forced software update tricks but as there is no power to the box at all, this does not work.
Is there any checks I can do myself? Internal fuses....etc?
Thanks
Dean

DRX280 not coming out of standby is a common fault, could be a one off, or possibly the power supply failing.
Sky list a procedure to try first...

Hi Mike
Unfortunately it's not even stuck on standby. No lights on at all, no power seems to be getting to the machine.
I've tried replacing fuses, leads, different sockets....

sorry to hear but thats what you get from ebay . most off the time its best go for the shops on there as ebay is like a car boot you get what you think your getting
best thing is try looking at your local papers in the cassifies ads . or on advert sites on the net . then at lease you can take it back to the housesamsung sky hd 973004(upgraded 500gb) also pace sky hd 9F3004. fitted with a 65cm triax solid dish.
