    How to fix a DISEqC 4x1 Switch?

    Duh, okay, well I got real good advice on fixing a bent dish, so I thought I would try my luck with this one:



    Well, I got this Coolsat 4x1 DiSEqC Switch and it came with my receiver, so I assume it is the correct, recommended switch (I might read my manual a little more).

    Anyway, it's working only with LNBs 3 & 4.

    Well, that's much better than having only one line, however I now have a third line that I want to connect (and maybe a fourth later on).

    You know, it works but I have to remove LNB 3 (or 4) and then connect it in for it to work so I end up just removing/reconnecting, removing/reconnecting, etc. because it absolutely will not work on LNBs 1 or 2.

    Okay so to fix this problem, I guess it's just a process of elimination (unless anybody knows any cool ways to fix a DiSEqC switch.)

    1. Replace the switch (which is the cheapest thing to replace but it's a pain in the butt because they have to be ordered through the internet).

    2. Replace the receiver (taking care to review the requirements for DiSEqC switches) although this is much more expensive.

    Okay, I think that's all on this one.

    Thanks.

    Replacing the switch is probably the easier method. Not sure how you could "fix" a switch since I am thinking there are some electronic components inside...

    Have you tried the 3rd LNBF yet? I had one switch that was dead on a couple ports out of the box, but several months later, I tried it again with a different receiver and different LNBFs, and it magically started working. If you haven't tried it for a while, you might just give it another try.
