Humax 5400 satellite receiver ,power suppl problem

Hi,
I have a Humax 5400 satellite receiver with a switch mode power supply problem.
The fuse is not blown, the supply attempts to start when the mains power is switched on.

I believe that there is a common fault of 2 electrolytic capacitors on the power supply board drying out which cause this problem.

I don't have a circuit diagram.

I would be pleased if I could get some help in idenitying the 2 electros that could be causing the problem , or any other clues you give me that would help.

Hope you can help.
Thank you
Robert

Dear Robert...


I think the problem with my humax 5400z is similar to yours.

Both 5400 & 5400z have the same power supply unit.

I just solved it this evening by changing C9.

It's a 1500 μF 10V electrolytic capacitor. Be careful not to reverse the polarity my friend.

If you have problems to find the capacitor just e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send you pics showing the location of that C9 capacitor on tthe psu board.

Hope this could help you.

Good luck.

Ramez Lebbad.

    Marvelous, same problem with vaci 5300, just fixed it right after reading this fix, capacitor replaced by 1200 ?F 10V,

    Thank you!

    I have a humax receiver no power, capacitor 400v 82uf bulge, I replace 400v 180uf but the same not working,

  • Anonymous Feb 23, 2013

    is it no problem even I replace the capacitor 400v 82uf - 400v 180uf?

  • Ramez Lebbad Feb 23, 2013

    Dear Denielle. The power supply of the Humax is very sensitive. Any change of the value of capacitors will affect the power outputs. You should replace the damaged capacitor by a good one having exactly the same capacity and voltage. Just replace the bad one with a new 82uF-400V and it should be working if there is no other other problems. Take care of the polarity too. Good luck.

    thanks ramez, but as of now I tried to change the nearest one microfarad which is 100uf, still the same not working

  • Ramez Lebbad Feb 23, 2013

    Try then to change C9 which is 1500uF-10V. This capacitor is frequently damaged in the Humax power supply. Try to find exactley the needed values, not more, not less.

    where is the exact location of C9 - 1500uf-10v

    could you please help me?

  • Ramez Lebbad Feb 24, 2013

    Denielle In this photo the C9 capacitor has been removed and I replaced it by a red cap of plastic just to show you the location. So it should be inplanted at the place where you see the red cap. Again I remind you to respect the polarity before soldering the new capacitor.

    I check the powersupply of my receiver I think it is not the same I did not found this c9 because this is humax F1-ACE model

  • Ramez Lebbad Feb 25, 2013

    You gave me the impression that you have a Humax 5400 or 5400z. I regret then, I'm not familiar with the power supply of the model you are talking about.

    i could not find 1500 uf 10v from there for replace.. Please help me...

  • Ramez Lebbad Mar 18, 2014

    Please Nail Eldarov, send me you e-mail address on my e-mail given above so that I can send you pics to help you locating the 1500uF capacitor. Thanks

Toshiba satellite l300 restart after being conected with power

Old power supply? Sounds to me like the power supply is sending a faulty signal to the motherboard, thus causing the computer to try to correct the problem with a re-boot. My Alienware is bad for that when the power supple gets weak. Buying a new power supply always corrects it.

2008 Chevy cobalt doesn't shut off when key is removed runs for about 30 seconds

To understand how this can happen you would need to know how it works . Do you know what happens when you turn your key to start ? First you need to know this . Computer controlled systems. The ignition switch is a low voltage input to the BCM - body control module , the BCM energizes relay's to power up vehicle systems .

.Circuit Description
Moving the ignition switch to the start position signals the body control module (BCM) through discrete inputs from the ignition transducer that engine crank has been requested. The BCM verifies that theft is not active and sends a serial data message to the engine control module (ECM) requesting engine start. The ECM receives a ground signal from the park/neutral position (PNP) switch or a signal from the clutch pedal position sensor notifying that it is safe to start the engine. Ground G105 supplies ground for the CRNK relay coil. The starter relay coil control circuit is then supplied voltage by the ECM closing the switch in the starter relay suppling 12 volts from the CRNK fuse to terminal A of the starter. Ground is supplied to the starter solenoid through the engine block.

Power to many of this vehicle's circuits are controlled by the module that is designated the power mode master (PMM). This vehicle's PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM controls which power mode (Run, Accessory, Crank, Retained Accessory Power, or Off) is active.
Serial Data Power Mode Master
On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle, the PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM receives 3 discrete ignition switch signals to differentiate which power mode will be sent over the Serial Data circuits. The 3-wire Ignition Switch table below illustrates the state of these inputs in correspondence to the ignition switch position:


Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop .

Humax 5400 no programs show epg TV Receivers & DVRs

Almost certainly due to failing PSU capacitors. This model is well known for it. It's easily repaired by a competent solderer.

No power ,all fuses are fine

More than likely the power supply has gone bad. I do not know if Denon uses a switch mode power supply or a linear supply. One way to tell is the weight of the amp. Heavy = linear supply and light = switch mode. Common problems with switch mode supplies are the FETs used for switch or the PWM generator (pulse width modulation generator) Linear supplies more than likely would have a bad bridge rectifier or shorted bypass cap on the DC rail.
