Default Help with ClarkeTech 2100+LNB

Im also having the same problem. No matter what I do, the receiver(ClarkeTech 2100+) is just displaying LnbF all the time.

There was a terrible storm here few days ago and I lost signals on all channels. Checked the cables and antenna itself and everything seems fine.

What would be the problem and a way to solve this? Could it be the INVERTO SILVER TECH IDLP-40SL+ UNIVERSAL SINGLE LNB???

I think you got a short or no connection on the coax..
When the wind blows the cables about they work themselves out of the F connectors.. either shorting or disconnecting completely

You need to check them carefully..

Turn off the receiver at the mains before doing this..
If you have a multimeter check for the coax being shorted (inner to braiding)

Also check the LNB output voltage from the receiver.. V =14v H =18v DC

I doubt the LNB is faulty unlkess water got inside

You checked the receivers LNB output voltage with a multimeter as i suggested..?
Check it at the receiver and also at the end of the coax with LNB disconnected

Your receiver is telling you it finds no LNB - so
either your LNB is not working.. or the coax is shorted or open circuit

You need to find out why.. and i can only tell you what to check
You say you've checked what i said so unless you either re-check it or substitute the coax/LNB then you wont get any further with your problem

If you have a motor temporarily disconnect it and put the coax straight to the LNB

You said there was a terrible storm (clue)
You also said you've tried everything - what was that..?
