Thank you very much for that information Lad! I am not sure if I ever visited that site while searching for repair schematics of Dreambox recievers. They are very hard to find! I certainly will visit his Forum if I not already had. Very interesting if schematics and repair guides can be found there! I own 3 Dreamboxes, which now all work, but you never know when they stop working like in this repair. (;)

Thank you George. I like your approach. Of course components are getting smaller and smaller. We soon will come to a time that we need a robot to replace our hands. No doubt a result of very small components assembled by robots in the first place. We see the same thing is happening in surgery. And Nano bots are being developed to cure deadly diseases already. We have to look forward in expectation without forgetting the past.

Yes the "Human Touch" can be a wonderful troubleshooting tool. I have also located many faulty connections / components by applying the magic touch.
Great repair another component saved from the trash heap!
Good Job !
