Cannot detect HDHomerun anymore

[davephan]

My HDHomerun has been working for many months, and it quit working recently. The both HDHomerun tuners are not detected in the HDHomerun setup. I tried installing the latest HDHomerun software, disabling my software firewall, and different ports on my router.

The HDHomerun LED and the power supply LED are both flashing about 4 times per second. When I disconnect the power from the HDHomerun, the power supply LED is on solid. I cannot remember what each LED is supposed to look like when the HDHomerun unit was working normally. I already opened a ticket with SiliconDust, but I thought someone on the forum might have a good idea what is causing this problem.

If the HDHR software can't even see the tuners, have you checked the SiliconDust support page for info about replacing the power supply?

It looks like is it a bad power supply. I now found the info on the Silicon Dust web site that I did not see there earlier this morning. My HDHomeRun has flashing red lights on both the HDHomeRun and power supply. I bought the unit after the bad power supply reports were coming out. I assumed that Silicon Dust stopped selling units with the bad power supplies at the time I purchased the unit.

A failing power adapter may result in one or more of the following symptoms:

* Flashing power light on the HDHomeRun or failure to power on.
* Flashing red light on power adapter.
* Zero signal-to-noise quality (snq) on all channels.

Here's a link to the web page with the bad power supply information and a photo of the bad power supply:
