Re: Motor, no signal question and/or Help Please

First of all Bill .. thank you so much for answering this thread. My understanding is that you are the wizard of motors. So gave me great relief to see your name this morning.

Followed your instructions to a tee. Nothing .. no response from the LNB no response from the motor. The motor is just outside the window so can see if it moves. Can't tell if the lights come on when it is asked to move .. but, they are not on when just plugged in. In the past I heard the engine engage when asked to move ..not getting any sound from it at all.

I have loaded the factory bin on the cw700 .. so in the settings I have are as follows:

Satellite name 17 Echostar 7 (119W)
Transponder: 12224 / V / 20000 / 5 / 6
LNB Freq: 11250
(LNB Type: No longer appears)
22 KHz Off
Diseqc Number: None
(Legacy SW: No longer appears)
Motorized System: None (changed when testing the motor)

Wondered if I had a capacitors problem. The red light is on, but so are the LED lights. Guess that wouldn't answer the question of why the Nova has no signal either, would it? Just seems so strange to me that the motor and the lnb would become disfunctional at exactly the same time. Both worked a second before plugging in the nova. So the only thing that has changed in all this time is plugging a cat 5 cable into a receiver that is by one way or another connected to both of them.

(sorry - guess I am start to think out loud .. lol. I am now entering day three on trying to figure this out)
