How To Change Capacitors On Pansat 2700 or 3500
If your Pansat is having these issues and you racked your brain trying to figure it out...
Well, this is how to fix it.
Symptoms:
You will have 99% Level and 0% Quality. You know your dish is pointed correctly.
Signal will be good, and then suddenly drop to 0% Quality unexpectedly at times.
(No heavy wind, rain, snow, etc.) Other receivers work fine on the same setup.
Troubleshooting:
The problem is 2 capacitors are blowing or blown. C-13 and C-14.
They are located on a smaller gold circuit board that connects to the power supply.
Remove your cover from your receiver.
2 screws on side, 1 small screw on back.
Once cover is removed, now you have access to the circuit boards.
1 Main Green one, and 1 Smaller Gold one. This is the one to look at.
The capacitors are labeled C-13 and C-14 capacitors 460uf16V for Pansat 2700 Verify capacitor type for 3500.
If they are swollen, they are blown and have to be replaced. Take a look at all the other capacitors. Notice how they are flat on top. You can find these at any electronics store for around 2 dollars a piece.
Take the 2 screws out of the gold circuit board. Get needle nose pliers and press in the retaining clips opposite the screws that is holding the board in.
Then carefully lift it out.
Now that you have access underneath, you will need a soldering iron or soldering gun for this.
Heat up both the leads and pull out the capacitors, mark down on a piece of paper in case you forget which side the positive(+) and negative(-) go.
Remember how you pulled them out, the negative lead has the white stripe on side of capacitor, so when you put them in you put them in the same way you took them out. Make sure your pulling out the right capacitors before you start heating them up from the bottom. Then, do the the other.
Once you have this done, installing the new ones are a cinch.
You will require small wire solder and paste.
Before you put the new capacitors in, make sure the negative lead is in properly, again, there is a white stripe on the side for the negative(-) side. Heat up the holes evenly, now, and push your new capacitors in the C-13 and C-14 spots in the board where you removed the old ones.
You might need someone to help as another set of hands is always nice for doing this part. Be sure and prep the new capacitor that is going in by cutting some of the excess lead wires off with a wire cutter. Don't cut them off too short! Heat up the socket holes underneath where the capacitor is going in. Have your helper push the capacitor in (not too hard) and hold tight against the board so you can solder underneath. Dip your solder in the paste and come close to the wire underneath protruding to the board and it will melt like butter.
If you can't pull out the capacitor when cooled, its soldered good. This only takes a few seconds to cool. Then, when it's done. Take some nippers or tiny sidecutters and clip the extra wire off so it doesnt hit the bottom of the case where it could short out.
Then put the gold circuit board back in carefully. Press it down on the retaining clips, and then re-install the 2 screws. Put the cover back on and you are done!
Now you will have level & quality again!

Ahi les va la solución para 0 calidad en pansat 2700, es cuestión de cambiar 2 capacitores de la fuente de alimentación, que estan marcados en la placa de la fuente como C13 y C14, son capacitores de 470uF a 16V y los encuentras en cualquier electrónica.
Eso si, les recomiendo que antes de meterle mano a su pansat se aseguren que no sea problema de orientación de antenas, de cableado, de conectores, de diseq, de lnb, de software(bin) o de configuracíón de su pansat, si ya probaron todo y nada funciona intenten esto, pero solo si tienen un poco de práctica soldando piezas electrónicas y tengan cuidado con la polaridad de los capacitores, no los vayan a poner al revés, si no saben nada de electrónica mejor ni lo intenten.
