WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS?

my 4955b suddenly stopped responding, so when I pulled out the DC adaptor of the sucket and put it back the decoder refused to turn ON.

What do you think could be the problem? I thought DC adaptors protect decoders from AC voltage power surges.

Kindly help. Thanks.

No adaptors don't protect anything from surges!
The main content in these adaptors are the step down DC low voltage transformers, which are supposed to be inside the decoders ...they are made external in adaptors to reduce over heating in the case of smaller housing decoders or can easily be replaced when damage!However you cannot get automatic voltage supply from this adaptors made for the receiver mainly 100-240Volts in case of low voltage ..

Perhaps I should try another adaptor before sending the decoder for repairs.

Bro, can you say exactly what occurred before the box went dead.?...some of us could learn a tip or two to avoid such situations
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Nobody: 4:11pm On Apr 17, 2019
@spy360,..The strong 4955series do hardly feel the effects of power surges....the worse outcome is a damaged power adaptor, check if power adaptor is working.. Had similar situation, thought box was dead but was able to restart it through PC software update....(quite delicate process)

If the M5 is H265, then you can go ahead
No member should buy a new receiver that is neither H265 nor 4K...the older ones are coming in at low prices, so everyone should check before buying

I cannot confirm if the box is dead until I try with another adaptor.

Good evening gurus,

1. My multi-tv channels are not working on 28°e, although other stations like galaxy, quest, etc are working (Core is not working also). Has there been change of TP?
2. I got Nigcomsat but TSTV is not coming up. What should I do?
