CS6000 Keeps Resetting

[nellyrossco]

My Coolsat 6000 keeps resetting. I tried powering on and off, but it keeps resetting by itself. I can't make it stop. Tried to reload bin but the loader will not let me do so because of the constantly resetting. Is there a solution or is the machine cooked?

Are you disconnecting the sat feed while trying to download the bin?

[nellyrossco]

Yes. Disconnected.

I assume the unit is turning it self on and off. Right now all I can think of is that it's maybe too hot. Try leaving it unplugged and away from any heat sources for a while. Or unless someone else has an idea. There is a capacitor that could be replaced it this problem continues. Let me know and I will post instructions on which one to replace.

load factory ben it will fix it.

I shut is off for about an hour so I don't think it is over heating. I just keeps recycling. When it does that the channel comes up for a split second so I suppose you may be right and it is the capacitor. That would make sense I think.

Won't let me load. It says to turn on.

Force load it,start your loader with fac bin,click pc-stb first and turn on stb from back.
Hope this helps.

Post or send me the capacitor replacement instructions.

[nellyrossco]

I am going to try and force loading it and let you know how it turns out.

The pic shows which one, it will have to get approved so it might take a while.

If you have a dead 5000 or 6000 coolsat box try this, replace this part (see pictures) I have fix 1 5000 and 1 6000 box now. one that had no lights or any power on it and 1 that had dim lights on it and both had the same part bad, you can use any volts that are over 6.3 but you must use
1000 uf. I can not say for sure all boxs have the same volts or uf how ever i have look at 4 boxs and all were the same. the part I used was 25 v 1000 uf

I had a simular problem. turn it off and when you turn it on hurry and try to load factory ben do it over and over until it takes. also you should set everything to fact setings.

[nellyrossco]

I send see the image of what and where to replace.

[nellyrossco]

Sorry. I cannot see the image of what to replace in the post. I am also trying to force the bin in. Let you guys know if either works because it also could help other people.

Looks like it didn't take. I have a very old post on this I'll try and find it where the pic is in.

Guy I got it to work. Thanks boboisno1 and lojack for help. Here is what worked. Connected stb to my computer. I forced bin 100 in by constantly clicking start on the Coolsat loader with my mouse while switching the power on and off with my Coolsat 6000. Eventually I was able to trick bin 100 into the stb. Connected back to tv. Then I did a factory reset. Diconnected from tv. Connected again to computer. After that I loaded in bin 165. Connected back to tv. After a few minutes things rolled and I was up again. Can't thank you guys enough.
