How to solve Dish TV, Airtel TV DTH Setup Box STB start up blink flashing problem with power on?

Me with DISH TV and my friend with Airtel both faced same problem few days ago. Whenever we give power to setup box STB, it starts blinking and only after long time it starts.


In dish TV we change the following capacitor with ratings 1000uf 10V to new 1000uf 16V or 1000uf 25V (25V capacitor is recommended for permanent solution).


In airtel STB change the capacitor with ratings 1500uf 10V to new 1500uf 16V or 1500uf 25V (again recommend 25V).


Both DishTV and Airtel STB has two capacitor with same ratings as I said above. In most cases only one capacitor needed to change. This capacitor attached on STB SMPS circuit board, it is the small board on which STB's power cord attached. You can take this small circuit board to your electrician to change above described capacitor or you can change your self if you can do. The damaged capacitor may look some bulge type, you can easily recognize the damaged capacitor. The capacitor in both STB has approx 1 inch height cylindrical shape, read ratings to recognize easily.
