6 on Display

[francosp]

Folks,

Clone starview.

Was getting 0 on display so I replaced cap11 as pointed out in a few threads.

Box works now for about 15mins then I get a "6" on display. Seems like something is getting a power surge, but looking inside the box, all the caps seem fine. No bulging/leeking etc..

Anyone seen this before ?

Have not seen 6 before,the cap has a polarity,I used a 16v cap not 10V.

I replace 16v with 16v..

I'm going to try put a 10v on later to see if I have any joy. Will report back anything useful !
