Odd Problem With An S9

[Gray1]

I am having an odd problem with an Openbox S9. I have four dishes connected to the S9 with a DiSEqC
switch. The receiver simply quits receiving a signal on all satellite and you get a "no signal". After you change channels with the remote a while it all comes back for a few minutes then it quits receiving again. No USB drives are plugged in. A master reset does not make the problem go away. The only way to fix it, is to load the software (flash) again. I have had to do this twice in the last 3 months. I am using the 12-2 software. Since it never gave me problems like this before, I’m wondering what’s going on. Anybody got any thoughts?


Thanks

Have you replaced the LNBF 'fuse'? http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/279413-Fix-Your-OpenBox-S-9-For-58-Cents?
The polyfuse 'resets' when power is turned off. You can safely jumper it. (maybe as a temporary/permanent solution?)

Sounds like my problem. I got 76SQ and the next second 0SQ. I opened my S9 up and indeed have the W60-065 Polyfuse. Guess I better get a fuse. Its working fine right now. But I bet it acts up again. Thanks for your help.
