I volunteer at a repair non-profit. A customer has brought in a FOX T2 with no power. I’ve checked out the mains input and switch – all OK.
But where to go next?
The power supply board looks OK, except for the capacitors at the mains input end (see photo). Is that brown gunk intentional or not?
Is a circuit diagram available anywhere? (I have searched).
Any help would be much appreciated!

Try posting the question over at https://hummy.tv where there is more expertise on the HDR-FOX T2. Nobody outside Humax has circuit diagrams as far as I know.
I can’t see your photo but it sounds like the capacitors in your PSU need replacing. I think there was a thread on the Forum some time ago about replacing these, but unfortunately I can’t find it.
If you’re handy with a soldering iron you could get the capacitor μF (micro farrad) ratings, buy them from somewhere like RS (https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/?searchTerm=capacitors) and replace them yourself.
THanks for the responses. I’ll try your suggestions!
