"PROTECTOR" BLINKING My receiver has been wonderful over the years and all of a sudden I wake up this morning and turn it on and "Protector" is blinking in the LCD. I have unplugged it and replugged in, but it still will not clear. HELP!!!!

Hi,

If the power light is blinking amber – The computer is receiving electrical power, but an internal power problem might exist.

Ensure that the voltage selection switch is set to match the AC power at your location (if applicable).

Ensure that the processor power cable is securely connected to the system board (see page 73).

flip off the surge protector and then flip it back on.

Internal problem probably needs output transistors and a dual emmiter resistor (could a couple other parts too). Parts and labor should be about $100 to $125.

hi zackmann37! I will be glad to assist you on this issue. 1st lets try to isolate the problem, unplug the power of you dvr receiver from the power strip or surge protector and leave it unplug for 1min. after 1min, plug in directly to the power outlet not on the power strip or surge protector. Why? some of the power strip does not give the 100% current needed by the dvr system thats why its malfunctioning, it gives the 100% power voltage but not the 100% current. then let the dvr reboot by itself once its rebooting you will see attention 015 then it will go on a progress until it download the programming guide and you got you tv shows, observe it until the next morning, leave the dvr plug in directly to the wall, now before you sleep, turn off the receiver by pressing the power buttonon the remote to turn off the green light. once you wake up in the morning, press the power button and the green light and the amber light will turn on and it will show your program, but if the problem still exist, you need to call on 1-800-333-3474 talk to dish tech support and tell them that you need a replacement receiver, you have a dvr lost of function. pls feel free to get in touch if you have any query

Sounds like you need to replacew the lamp.

Check your speaker cables, make sure none have shorted out. if they have, then thats why the unit won't power up. The units protector circuit is being activated upon startup.

off hand it sounds like a power supply issue. sometimes fixable sometimes not.

Ok sounds to me like a power supply problem.. this a a fairly common symptom. I suggest that as a temporary fix you set the monitor to NOT turn the power off to the monitor in sleep mode if possible, in your power settings for the monitor.
