Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 2084 Registered: Jun-06 | If the receiver is not coming on, you have pwer supply problems - perhaps your receiver got destroyed from a power surge, or it may bjust be a fuse problem. |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2208 Registered: Oct-05 | Unfortunately Fortec Receivers do not have internal fuses. If the receiver is not coming on then the receivers power supply went out. It is not worth replacing this since these receivers are going for about $50.00 to $60.00 on ebay which is probably what it would cost to fix the power supply. You may want to unplug the receiver from where it is right now and plug into different power outlet to see if it works... |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 2085 Registered: Jun-06 | PRFRMNJ: You seem to have acquired a habit of chasing me where-ever I post. You may have a Fortec, but it does not mean that all Fortec Ultras are the same. So do read this up and know that there is an internal fuse at least in some Fortec Ultra receivers. I suggest you stop trying to discredit me every time I post. http://www.kansat.com.au/specifications/fs5100.php POWER SUPPLY Input Voltage AC 90 to 250 VAC (SMPS), 50Hz/60Hz Power Consumption Max 25W Stand-by Power < 5 Watts Protection Separate internal fuse |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2221 Registered: Oct-05 | Nalin - I can care less where you post. I know for fact that the fortecs I've worked on have no internal fuse. I opened them when I did the resistor mod to convert them to a Pansat I've done this on at least 30 of these. However, if you have information or knowlege that some of these units do have an internal fuse then post it. As a matter of fact why don't you take a picture of it and show everyone rather then trying to pick a fight with me you. |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2229 Registered: Oct-05 | NO the url you posted is for model Fortec Star FSCI-5100 Ultra and if you know half of what you claim to know you'd know this is not the same model. Good lord you are about as ignorant as can be. Go pick a fight with someone else who thinks you know what your talking about, I'm not impresses nor do I care. Get a life.  This is a Lifetime Ultra! Maybe you should get off your high horse and learn before you decide to argue what you don't know. |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2230 Registered: Oct-05 | Here is what YOU claim is a Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra! By the way Fotec Star is just the company who produces this. Really you need to learn before you decide to try to hang with the big boys!  |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2234 Registered: Oct-05 | Okay, I'll add your posts above to the collection I have which I call "Nalin's Bogus Posts". I may just start a thread to show people just how stupid you really are. Little girl/boy/it don't waste your time with me. You'll never and I mean never be able to get to me to lower myself to your level. The readers know best. Good Night and have a great life! |

I am not a woman and I have no interest in you at all. You and your friend keep on crashing into every thread without knowledge of what you are talking about. STOP FOLLOWING ME. |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2237 Registered: Oct-05 | Okay - I'll get on that right away, just as soon as you stop posting BS info.... |
