Hey guys. My Dreambox clone with OpenPli on it is stuck on boot, on dhcp screen. Every time my power goes off, blackout or something, I have a problem with my box. I really don't understand. This time it happended again. And now it's stuck. I can't go in DHCP boot to try and flash this rom again. Last time I flashed my SIM card with I think OptiSflasher or something like that, but that time I had a NO CA Found error. Screenshot attached. Any ideas how to solve this?

Do this if you want to use your box again for long,

1) Replace the 4 big capacitors

2) Upgrade your box to the Japhar Sim

On your capacitors thread, you say to use Rubycon capacitors. What is 105°? See my screenshot.

That's the temperature, 105 degres, as there is generally 85, 105 and 130. Higher it is, more resistent it is.

2 questions...my capacitors are 10V, and the ones you suggest on your picture are 35V. Can you tell me more about that?

And the other thing...what's the difference between Japhar Sim and my ferrari sim and 2.01 sim?

Thanks

The higher Voltage is better for having them working for longer, it's 10 Volts minimum, 4700uF, 105 degrees (very important).

If you Upgrade your box to the Japhar Sim, instead of the Ferrari or Sim2 sim, you will be able to use all images Japhar+Ferrari+Sim2. The Japhar sim is 3 sims in 1.

OK, thanks. I would also like to change those other capacitors, some of them have hills on them. Those are 680uF 25V and 2200uF 6.3V. What voltage should I go with?

All Capacitors with hills will need to be replaced, yes,

I know that. But you said that my 10v capacitors need to be replaced with 35v capacitors. I'm asking, using this logic, what voltage should I replace 680uF 25V and 2200uF 6.3V capacitors with?

Generally you can use the same Voltage, or higher. Depends of what you find, up to you. Higher is giving better resistance in time, so longer life for the capacitors to the original Voltage of the parts used originally.
