My faithful HDR Fox T2 appears to have finally given up the ghost as it enters a crash/reboot loop on power up. Thanks to guidance from this forum I am very sure it is not the HDD as this still happens with it removed. I'm also very sure it isn't the front panel as I was able to borrow the one from my emergency replacement DTR T1000. Also thanks to this forum I have secured and decrypted offline all recordings (thanks for that!)
So I am inclined to get it working again but wanted some advice about options. I am currently assuming although can't be sure that the PSU is faulty but cannot see obvious signs of damage.
I could get some new caps and have a go with a soldering iron but a previous experience with a Toppy that led to me buying a new PSU having cooked the old one indicates my skills here may be lacking. Buying a "new" one off Ebay is an option, but I wondered if any other (possibly cheaper) Humax units share the same PSU - namely the HD Fox T2 and the Foxsat HDR. It the PW808 PSU I need so I know the DTR T1000 is not compatible.
Any help would be great.
