Re: IR

You may want to debug the board yourself. There have been a lot of teams in earlier posts complaining of the 7805 regulator failing. Find the schematic of the board either at the FIRST documentation website of IFI's website.

Or just carefully measure the voltages on the 3 regulator pins. pin 1 is the input( 12V), pin 2 is ground, and pin3 is the output( 5V). You read the pins from L-R with the device front facing you.

These parts are very inexpensive and easy to replace. Cut the part leads close to the device first then apply solder and heat to the remaining leads one by one to remove them. This way you can avoid damaging the PC board traces.

If you are not comfortable doing this repair yourself, try a computer/tv repair shop and ask them to help you. ( Do they still repair TVs?)

Good luck!
