Night before last a very close hit blew my switch at the road cutting my power and causing damage to connected equipment. Here's the tally:
Dead: SG2100 motor, 2 C-Band lnbs, 1 linear lnb, diseqc switch, computer carrying the AIW card that I use as a TV (although the card and hard drive survived), M-Audio keyboard that was not switched on but was connected to the power supply
Survived intact: old dish networks circular lnb on Bell Expressvu dish,
Problematic: Coolsat 6000 does everything fine except tune a signal. Blind scans are all empty and signal strength and quality meters fluctuate according to what is connected but do not do anything and do not behave in any kind of consistent manner. Is there a hardware factory reset that might be of help here?
The 103G has been the saviour here. The computer in which it is installed for some odd reason survived the surge (connected but switched off). It has enabled me to check what is working and what is dead.
