haha. seriously speaking i never watch astro at all. i only want to check if this box is still working that i can pass to my parents to watch the free channels for astro.

i had converted this box to njoi box that can watch free air channels only. that time i paid one time fee of rm50 to do it.
not sure if this box is still working becos it cannot be powered on. not sure if it kena lightning strike or just simply becos the power adaptor spoiled or what. blink.gif

my parent house's njoi box kena lightning strike and spoiled. to buy a new one needs rm300.

As you can see the "12V" and "4A" indicator on your picture provided, then usually those universal 12V 4A power adapter should work fine.
Here are some examples of power adapter you may use (proceed at your own risk):

Or if you want to be "safe", find those Astro installer/technician that sells the Astro branded power adapter for the PVR box model you're using.
Based on the picture, it is PVR box, also known as DMT5.
Based on what you said, it seems to me that this box has not been powered on for more than 1 month, right?
If yes, once you manage to power it on, you will see "please insert correct smart card (S14)" error, and then a while later, you will see "We apologise for the service interruption" message.

If this happens, you'll need to refresh the smartcard first. Just follow the on-screen instructions to send a SMS to refresh the smartcard, or you can install My NJOI app on your phone, enter the smartcard number, and then tap Settings>Refresh Smartcard>REFRESH.
Once it is successfully refreshed, then you'll able to view the channels.
Try to "revive" the PVR box whenever possible first... Because Astro PVR box is considered a "rare item" now  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

Icic. Thanks a lot for all the useful info.

Maybe I also will search around my house for similar adaptor.

I hope it is not damaged by lightning strike etc. And it is still working but just simply Becos the adaptor is not working.
