The power supply circuit: http://www.eserviceinfo.com/download...LST-4100P.html (I entered the model number from another - my mistake
)
The unit is a Sunlin SR691-B01.
The STB would start with a version display, and would not respond.
The +5V rail was down to +3.3V, because C7 (Partsnic RM) was faulty (it was also discoloured).
Replacing all of the electrolytics in the power supply fixed the problem completely.
A similar story with a bad Partsnic cap in antother STB: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3938
Daewoo/Partsnic is already on the bad caps list: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=388
Anyone else have a bad experience with such a brand?
