X2 receiver no signal

[Gary Bidwell]

I had a Open-box that did the same as yours and changed that part and it fixed it.

never had my x2 do that

2 of my very first x2 hasnt also show any of this symptoms. Still we will like to get some pics

I had an issue with my x2 when I first got it where it would not power the lnb at all. I left it off for a few days and then it worked. The problem comes and goes. I haven't attempted to change anything internally.

I cut that piece out and bridged it to just see if it would start up and not reboot, no effect at all, same result. I appreciate the help, but the box is done I believe. It was a good box, lucky it it cost so little.

[dr.zin]

loading foreign firmware it would act up,but I would just recover via rs232 and it would be fine.
It never did that with legit x2 firmware.

NTC 10D-7

Is this the culprit?


It's right next to the power cord VH connector.

I got a returned X2 prem receiver here that when it boots has a signal for one second then immediately you get no signal quality and no signal message. The 13 or 18v are present and even when I power the LNB from another source and use a dc block I still get no signal message and it won't demod the signal. So should I try to replace this? Is there a readily available cross reference for a NTC 10D-7?

You say you have a returned x2. Do you sell them?

Everything works ok on this one except the demod of the signal, even when you power the lnb separetly through external power supply it still will not demod the signal for more than the first second when the channel banner comes on after it gets past the boot screen. 13v and 18 v can be switched on ant setup page and are fine on the meter. You can get into all menus fine and change L.O. freq but that doesn't do anything either, scans finds nothing, loaded a list of channels from the other x2 to get channels mapped. Only shows them for one second right at startup. Already loaded the .stp to see if that would cure it. No go, same deal.

No I don't sell them, I got two that were returned as defective for parts, but everything works okay on this one except the demod of the signal, even when you power the lnb separetly through external power supply it still will not demod the signal for more than the first second when the channel banner comes on after it gets past the boot screen. 13v and 18 v can be switched on ant setup page and are fine on the meter.

Only shows them for one second right at startup. Already loaded the .stp to see if that would cure it. No go, same deal. So it could be that part but I bridged it and that didn't change anything and I also dropped a piece of heatsrink around it to shield it but that had no effect as well. Other than overseas in bulk where would I get one of those NTC 10D-7 or an equivalent part?

Here you go, 20 for $5:

I've ordered from them before, and it took 7 days to get to me in Michigan from China. Of course I can't guarantee you'll get them as fast.
