Traxis DBS 3500 keeps rebooting

[pspitael]

Hello - first post here, but I've had a Traxis DBS3500 for years now. I use it sparingly, but last time I tried using it, it keeps shutting down and rebooting. It's now in a continual reboot cycle. As soon as I turn on the back rocker switch - it'll display 'on' or 'strt', but never gets further before it shuts down again and cycles through the same prompts...

Any suggestions? Is there a way to do a firmware flash on this receiver to see if that may help?

Thanks!

I would check the power supply voltages with an analog meter as a first step.
Oh, and unplug the coax to your dish, right on the back of the receiver, too.

There are some more troubleshooting steps, but I would start thinking about a new receiver.
That is a relic.

Thanks for the tip. No luck. Now I get no power at all no matter which outlet I plug it into. Might be time for that new receiver.
