    No. Neither status light on. TV source is set to HDMI.

    Can you check the voltage output from the Switch Mode power supply internally while you attempt to boot the box ? An internal short circuit will cause the SMPS to current limit and drop the output voltage dramatically to prevent the power supply being damaged.

    There aren’t any obvious points. I have used the identical psu from our working 4000T and the problem remains

    If you do have a short circuit the other PSU will do the same. Can’t you see the 12V connections from the socket to the the mother board ?

    I can see the points where the psu socket fits on the motherboard.

    The voltage there is 12VDC. I will take the board out to check the other side.

    That’s fine. Is it still 12V if you press the power on button ?

    There isn’t one on the 2000T. Only the standby button on the front

    That’s the button I mean. I want you to try and boot the box from sby to see if the voltage stays at 12V,

    Sounds like your original diagnosis was correct then?

    Seems so. Despite it being exactly the same problem as earlier from which it suddenly came back to life. Is there anyone who can repair these???

    As a long shot I unsoldered the three capacitors and fitted new pioneer ones but no difference.

    I have bit the bullet and bought a 5000T. Is it possible to connect the 2000T HD to my PC and copy files to a USB stick. I know they are encrypted and this is removed if ported from the original system but of course I cannot do that when it wont power up!

    You can disconnect the drive and connect it to a PC using a sata cradle by usb. To read the EXT3 File system the PC will need to be booted into Linux or have the EXTFS Linux File system driver installed,

    The SD xxxx.ts video files (mpeg 2 video compressed) aren’t encrypted only the HD ones (H264/AVC) so you can use them on your new box or replay them from a usb mass storage device. . Without the original box working you can’t do much about these. If you can get it working there are ways to recover them that we can’t discuss here in the open forum.

    I don’t think that is correct on an HDR-2000T. All the video files are encrypted.

    Having just forked out for a 5000T I tried the 2000T once more. Nothing!

    I wiggled the cable connector at the USB port at the front right and the status light lit and remote worked. So perhaps the connection there has been flaky.
