Bart1783 Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Hi all, I have had a Thompson 500AU for about a year now. Few days back after playing playstation I switched back to TV. Behold!!! No power in the SD unit, stone cold. I did the usual unplug/replug, check connections etc. The power cord (or the black wall plug was still HOT. I can get the thing going. What happened??? Power surge which only effected the unit?? Anyway, any suggestion would be useful! If I have to replace, than what should I get for similar price. Thanks to everyone bart
lesftv Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Some older video machines won't start after being unplugged from the wall and re-plugged. The SM Power supply won't restart. However, a unit (beit video or STB) which is only 1 year old seems unlikely to suffer this problem. If you are looking for a new unit (SD), you can't go past a "Wavelength STR-108". They are distributed through Hills. I don't know if any of your local retailers would have them but these units are BRILLIANT. The little "Nextwave" boxes are also great (especially in difficult and hard to deal-with SFN areas) Regards lesf

Geoff1503559596 Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 Is it a Thomson DTI500AU ? If so write down all the numbers on the plugpack and give them a call as there is a known batch of faulty plugpacks which they will replace for free. I know because I had two of them !
Bart1783 Posted October 8, 2004 Author Posted October 8, 2004 hey Geoff, yess it is a DTI500,and I will try it out, Thanks very much. Greatly appreciated Bart
