Default Sky Receiver coax problem

Hi All,

I was wondering if someone had a cure to an issue I have. Recently got an openbox hd reciever and plugged it, was working ok but then moved a coax cable ever so slightly and now box is not turning on.

is there a short circuit somewhere? any fix or has the receiver been damaged? there was a small spark at the time....

try unplugging the mains lead then unplugging the coax from the dish then switching it on if
it comes on with out the coax plugged in then there is a short on the coax
usually at the f plugs remember be for you disconnect the coax or connect the coax un plug from mains first as there is power going up the coax to the lnb

thanks, took the coax out of the receiver and turned it on......without much joy............the receiver not turning on ...........

luckily i can get a replacement but not ideal though.........maybe have to reset the box but there is no hard reset button that comes on..........
