Re: echostar hds-600
@Agent24.
Nooo.... I think you may be right.
Had it running for two days now, but each day I have had trouble powering it up in the morning. Turning on from standby shows Checking hdd... for a long while. Usually takes 2 or 3 attempts to finally get it booted. I suspect, like you said, a bad cap still, and taking a while to build enough charge before it can power the HDD enough. Shame.
Going to turn off the standby feature for now, but I guess I will need to buy and attempt to replace all the caps. Problem is working out which ones.
Also worried about completely trashing the whole thing from trying.
You mentioned this is a multilayer board - how can you know or tell?
