20 Most Recent Fortec Star Lifetime ULTRA - Page 3 Questions & Answers

if you take the cover off the receiver and look at the power board you will find evidence of overheating and probably some capacitors that are bulging. it's probably cheaper to buy a new receiver unless you are able to start replacing parts yourself. I found a overheated board recently that came from factory with R30 missing.

The value of that resistor is 1K ohms 5% 1/8 watt. If that resistor is burnt, Q2 or IC3 could have caused it to burnt.
I would also suggest to check the solder joints at Q2 and IC3.
Good Luck.

Fortec is a Clone of the Pantec System and is being phazed out. All recievers using the De-Scramble (Keys) Method will now not work.
They will, but will require additional software in the months/years to come.

you have to connect you HBS box to reciever via female-female cable that comes with it.. then attach HBS box to your DSL modem using ethernet cable.. you can then update your reviever by pressing 9906 by your remote control ... but unfortuanetly, the server is down there days .. you can alternatively enter your cades manually by pressing 8282...
