Hi guys thought i would post a possible fix for Teac HBBST1 set top box ,the unit just stopped , no power indication on display
This set top box is not a cheep at over $180aud and was out of warranty , with teak offering a repair look at fee over $55aud i thought i take a look at it
The problem was the 1000uf 10v electrolytic cap had failed - shown in the attached pic,
Replace the cap for 16v or 25v 1000uf
The voltage over this cap when not in circuit was measured at 8v and the cap did show a very small amount of "top bulge"
It clear the PCB design allows for larger cap than fitted ( has extra pad holes) , and the supplied cap was voltage underrated for the design use
hope it helps another with same set top box
