    Icon9 Echostar 3600 Dead

    Hi,
    Since I switched off the power for 30 minutes, the Echostar 3600 will no longer power-up.
    It seems to be a PSU fault.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to which components need replacing ?
    TIA !

    If the PSU was never repaired before, a good start would be to replace ALL capacitors on the board.

    Generally, the electrolytic capacitors feeding the DC voltages to the receiver proper are the prime suspects on the AD3600/3000ip series. That's the ones clustered at the bottom of the power supply (where the DC supply cable connector goes out to the main board).
