you need to test this yourself:
drive dish to its default location, where you have it setup to (0.8°w?)
connect cable directly to receiver, no switch no motor in between.
If you have signal LNB is working.
next connect cable to motor and connect motor to LNB with new peace of cable and see if you still have a signal.
Step by step, try to eliminate parts that could be faulty.
if none of these produced a signal: yes LNB probably faulty.
You still have the problem to many LNB's did go faulty. If you did think this is only by you working on them and not having receivers powered off then you're probably OK. If not you could have another fault somewhere and the next LNB is in line to go faulty.
Do you have someone that could assist you with the cables? Radio amateur, ...
To many factors can cause LNB's go faulty:
Quality of the used cable, joints, connectors, sharp bends in cable, if you used nails or staples to fix the cable, cable fit to connector, length of cable, cable size to f-connector size mismatch, ...
Outside connector needs protection against rain, cable needs some slack between motor and dish so there is no strain on that cable when the dish moves. And the cable positioned so that the cable is not pinched and damaged when the motor moves.

Hey,

got everything sorted today, turns out that it was my lnb again ... Someone suggested to me that it may be the frequency in the settings of tm9100 that may be blowing the lnb.... Or it could just be that I was unpluging and pluging the coax cable in and out of the sat reciever.

Also I definately couldnt move the motor while the lnb was damaged, as soon as I put a new lnb on the dish it was able to move again.

The motor I use is a digitality Stab Diseq.


Thanks everyone for all your help.:respect-055:

It sounds as if the lnb cable was shorted out, that would cause the motor to not work as well.

Your lucky you didn't damage the reciever.
