3500SD What is wrong?

Bronze Member Username: Dishnut995Post Number: 13 Registered: Jun-06 | I recently upgraded it to the b80, both v2 and v3 and I have tried the 312, 315 and 316 bins. 99% Level and 0% quality on all. (99% level is unusal. It is normally in the 75% range.) It will not pick up TPs or channels. All settings are correct... I switch to my 2700 and I watch tv. Also, the remote is slow and seems to force the unwanted entries. What is the problem? Thanks |

Bronze Member Username: Dishnut995Post Number: 14 Registered: Jun-06 | Yeah, I have been reading that, but that does not help. I have been using an 18" WIngard Dish with a PM900 motor for years. Everything was fine until this upgrade on the 3500SD. Now, what is this 304 or 305 bin from Pansat? When you go to their site and download original bins, you get the 122 bin with the 3500s stuff(which used to flash this receiver and will not take now) and you get the b80 and 300 bin when you download their 3500SD b80 stuff. The 300 bin goes on and will allow me to put the 312 - 316 bins on, but still no quality. I have all original Pansats, no clones. |

Bronze Member Username: Dishnut995Post Number: 15 Registered: Jun-06 | Still 99% level and 0% quality, but 2700 keeps rocking along. 3500SD... back to it... I then put the B70 bin back on with the 35.01 v1 loader, and it took. Then, the 122 bin. It took, finally. Then b80 upgrade with most recent files; 35.01 loader v2, itc b80 06 1019, then 3500s 061217 b80 api, then latest 317 bin. STILL 99% level and 0% quality. I've changed disq settings. I've check all other settings... Is anyone else having this same trouble? Thanks |

Silver Member Username: Hawaiian_timeKanaka freak... Post Number: 959 Registered: Apr-06 | Hey Bob. Lots of people are having the same problem with their 3500. A lot of the problems have been traced to leaking capacitors on the power board. After replacing 2 capacitors, the units worked like new again. You can get more info at Future fta. |

Post Number: 1559 Registered: Nov-06 | WellI have signal issues on my genuine 2700a,after the b75 upgrade.Stories of tuners crapping out,leaking capacitors,corrupt bins.Pansat used to rule,and be #1.How can you go from #1 and being around in the game the longest to be DEAD last so fast?Even new comers camps beat pansat ! It has to be deliberate and planned,bad luck only goes so far. |

Silver Member Username: Hawaiian_timeKanaka freak... Post Number: 963 Registered: Apr-06 | Epor, could be a problem with capacitors as I have stated a few posts above. Best for you to go to Future fta. They have lots of info on 3500 problems. |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 2256 Registered: Jun-06 | One should not forget the well known rules of any electronic equipment. There is what is known as infant mortality. This is the higher incidence of failure of components when they are new than after the component has been in use for some time. There is heat damage - components get overheated and gradually fail. This could be temporary or cumulative. In the earlier days of computing it used to be memory chips and hard drives. Now it is more often a capacitator. Having said that, there are reports of Pansat 3500 having power supply problems especially with the power draw of some DN LNB and LNB/DP34 combination. This is often reported as a) It was working fine, but now after 5 minutes it fails, b) it used to work fine, but now it is dead. |

Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 8480 Registered: Jan-06 | useless old redundant common knowledge copy/paste by nalin...that info doesn't help anyone thats already read whats been suggested by Hawaiian here.... |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 2257 Registered: Jun-06 | LK: People who have worked with electronic compnents will know what I am saying. You obviously have not. People who have had problems with pansat 3500 and have done intensive reasearch in other sites will know what I am sying about the 3500 and power supply. You obviously have not done this. I think you have started chasing me in the threads in this forum and I want you to stop this immediately. I am NOT the sexuual satisfaction you are looking for. Go and find your Lewinsky somewhere else. |

Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 8482 Registered: Jan-06 | Blow me nalin.....who gives a fukc what U say!...U cheap hoar! BTW...your info has already been posted and U are copying it... and your info is basic FTA 101 for newbies..and I know U've never seen a P3500, so STFU! whats more interesting is hawaiians post stating that this is being reported by MANY all at once, as a New problem with the 3500, probably created by Pansat using inferior parts ..or the b80 boot firmware update..and any idiot stick (except you) knows that heat and electonics equipment don't mix (thats why your cheap pantec should have a heat shield)...and good ventilation is ALWAYS required.. last chance to get lucky nalin...I'll give U a cigarette and the "honors" of servicing my "wild thing"....LMAO |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 2258 Registered: Jun-06 | LK: You better shut for ever about commenting on my ability, till you have had the following experience, WHICH I HAVE HAD. 1. Take a piece of equipment for which you have paid $4300. Know that there is NO electronic help available in the neighbourhood. Put it on your kitchen table open it and through software alone determine that it is a particular memory chip and a particular pin on it. The with antistatic gloves lever it out unbend the pin and put the chip back in, and have it working. You probably have not even heard of antistatic gloves and CMOS. Look up the dictionary of electronics. 2. Be told that the power supply of a $7000 computer is not working and called by the head teacher of an electronics trade school to come and look at it. Then go and determine that the capacitator on the main board was defective and instruct the electronics students how to change the capacitator and have the computer working. 3. Develop from scratch a whole BIOS. 4. Develop a 286/286 chip clone using RISK processors. I request the gurus who have been watching this crazy man's pursuit to stop him in his tracks any time he tries to interfere. Thanks in advance. |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 2261 Registered: Jun-06 | LK: It was expected that you would not understand electronics. SO GET OUT OF MY WAY. Your ignorance and refusal to learn is costing many people their receivers. Go and learn before you post. |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 2268 Registered: Jun-06 | I have tried to tell the gurus in this forum 2-3 months ago that many people are switching from DN receivers to FTAs and will be having problems. There is a clique of ignorant people led by LK, who specialise in killing any new information unless it comes from LK. One of the techniques they use is to repeat a long post, and profanity The simple facts are: Dishrpo plus and Dishpro equipment require power supply, which is easily obtained from DN receivers and NOT so easily obtained from FTAs. If you buy a FTA, you are well advised to keep your DN receiver on on one output (preferrably on the first) and use the FTA on another instead of substituting. The DN supplied power can be anywhere. If you do not power the system properly there are chances of permanent damage to your FTA. Of the FTAs, the most vulnerable are earlier models of Viewsats, the Pansat 3500s and occasionally Fortec Ultra. There have been at least two posters in this forum in the last 2 months who have lost their receivers because the information was not conveyed to them by the gurus. If you do not want to use a DN receiver for power, you can substitute an external power supply. Dishpro adaptor sold for legacy DN irds may work but is not guaranteed to work with FTAs. A Dishpro approved or Dishpro compatible power inserter from one of the various suppliers will do very well. It is better to anticipate trouble and buy the power inserter when you get a new FTA, if you have DN LNBs and switches. The cost is minimal. QED |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2521 Registered: Oct-05 | Nalin - You still haven't learned anything. Why don't you actually read and comprehend what you read and then test what you read rather the misquoting people... You are about as worthless as a three dollar bill. |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 2270 Registered: Jun-06 | Typical response from PRFRMNJ. When there is is stubborn wall to influx of knowledge, there is nor much I can do for you |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2529 Registered: Oct-05 | You have no knoweldge to share! The four walls you hide in have you blinded to the fact that one minute you agree with a statement and the next you disagree... It's okay... I understand your ignorance.
