Most common fault into power supply in sat receivers

[satman72]

I've repaired alot of sat recivers, the most common problems is on power supply. Often the problem are the elettrolitic condensators, those after some years looses acid inside and goes in short circuit. So if you wanna try to repair yourself your dead receiver, try to change all elettrolitic condensators on power supply board, in 80% of cases you'll solve your problem.

It happens not only to the power supply.
On my Philips 7*** series, the power supply electrolytic are in a very good condition but ALL the condensers around the CPU are almost exploded. Luckily no liquids leaked to the motherboard...
Now I need a low power solder to remove them and replace with new one.
