Panasonic DMR-EX98 no signal fault

[ivanh]

Hi All,
I have a Panasonic DMR-EX98V which has suddenly lost its Freeview channels. Other models suffer from this issue and its down to a couple of bad caps, however this models internals are very different!

Does anybody have any insights into which caps need changing for this model?

I had a look inside and there is nothing obviously bulging or discoloured. I also wonder if the power supply fix for the U80 / U81 error may actually also address this issue.

Any advice much appreciated.

Capacitors have the ability to lose their capacity (they dry out) and their ESR increases, and their appearance does nothing, they must be checked by the ESR-Meter
