How to check for dead CS6000


Open receiver and look to see if C21 capacitor is bubbled up on top or any others as well;if so it needs replacing..very simple to do. You can get them at Radio Shack they only cost a few dollars..



If good they will be flat on top whereas if bad they will feel bubbled up/rounded on top.You can get them at any electronics parts store(Radio Shack good source)for almost nothing.Just be sure to place new one in properly with negative/positive sides facing correctly.
C21 is the primary culprit in these cases.


If the unit does infact power up then before replacing the capacitors try this:
Load factory file 1.00

If you can access menu do a database reset/factory set
Load the new bin 2.01

Do database reset/factory set once again
Now hopefully you can access full menu to reset your dish settings/options and then do a "Autoscan" of each sat with "Network Search" turned OFF



See capacitor picture below these are bubble on top they have to be flat remember...
