Almost all modern satellite television receivers are equipped with a display that displays the progress of their operation. If the device does not turn on for some reason, the error code that has occurred is displayed on this small display. You can compare it with a special table in the equipment instructions and understand how to proceed. The situation is more complicated with earlier models of consoles, for example, with the gs 8306. They do not have a display. Instead, there are several LED indicators on the front panel. Therefore, in a situation where the Tricolor gs 8306 receiver does not turn on, it is quite difficult to find out the causes of the problem. Let's try to figure out how to act in this case.
Why doesn't the receiver work?
There are several main reasons why the Tricolor TV receiver may not turn on or not work:
- problems with food supply;
- switching TV to another connector;
- technical work at the provider;
- signal conversion in the converter is interrupted;
- there are problems with the antenna;
- The cable itself or the connector itself is damaged;
- the software is malfunctioning;
- technical problems in the functioning of the receiver itself;
- There is a problem with the operation of the receiver's remote control.
To detect a problem, the user needs to check all links in this chain. After diagnostics, you can start troubleshooting.
More complex options
After the most common causes of the problem have been verified, you can move on to more complex options. Let’s make a reservation right away - this should only be done if the user has the skills to repair such equipment and the appropriate tools. At a minimum you will need:
- Screwdriver Set;
- soldering iron
If the subscriber is not familiar with the principles of digital equipment, he should immediately contact the service or a trusted technician.
Crashes after update
Most often, users complain that after the update the gs 8306 receiver does not turn on. The LEDs light up, but not steadily, but blink randomly. This behavior of the device indicates that there is a failure in its firmware.
The most common reasons for this situation are factors such as:
- turning off the power while downloading an update;
- voltage drop when loading new software;
- Incorrect implementation of the firmware procedure not from the satellite, but from other sources.
In some cases, the user may not notice a violation of the update process. For example, if during the download the light blinked or the contact came off in the USB connector where the flash drive with the new software was inserted. This cannot be detected by the naked eye, but sensitive equipment reacts instantly. As a result, serious repair work has to be carried out.
Important! You should begin repairs if, after completing the update, the gs 8306 does not turn on, the power indicator is on, and the remaining LEDs on the panel do not light up at all or blink chaotically.
Diagnostics and what to do in each specific case?
If the receiver does not work, then you need to carry out diagnostics. The reason can be understood by the indicators that light up on the screen . These could be inscriptions:
- "boot"
- "no signal".
- If the receiver does not turn on only from the remote control, then you need to check this device.
- When the receiver does not respond at all when turned on, there may be a power problem.
Power problems or after a power outage
The power system must be checked first. This is especially true for situations when the receiver does not turn on after a power outage.
The following steps must be taken step by step:
- Check the functioning of the power supply.
- Diagnose how the adapter is connected to the network.
- The receiver cable should not move away from the connector.
- Check the position of the switch; it often happens that the receiver is simply turned off for some reason.
If the satellite receiver is an older brand, then after a power outage you must also check the operation of the external power supply, which is available in such models. In this case, you can purchase a new power adapter.
With built-in power supplies it is more difficult to check. Visa problems may arise due to insufficient capacity. You also need to check:
- diode bridge;
- electrolytes;
- PWM chip;
- output diode
In order to access and repair the internal power system, the following tools are required:
- Screwdriver Set;
- soldering flux;
- soldering station;
- new component.
The repairs made will restore the current supply. If the indicators are blinking, the power is normal . If the receiver still does not turn on, the problem is not in the power supply.
"No Signal" message on TV
First, you need to check whether the problem is coming from the receiver. If the receiver responds when you press the buttons, the red lamp lights up, and the indicators light up, the error is related to the operation of the receiver. Possible problems, in addition to technical work on Tricolor TV or bad weather, are the following:
- Antenna offset . This happens in strong winds, bad weather conditions, or if the antenna was poorly secured or a heavy object fell on it. To solve this problem, you need to check the rigidity of the antenna and adjust the settings.
- The cable is damaged . It is also necessary to check the integrity of the cable from the dish to the receiver. Replace the cord if necessary.
- F-connector is damaged . It needs to be replaced. If the connector is not damaged, then you need to see if the cable has come out of it and, if necessary, screw it back in with force.
- The converter is faulty . This is one of the links for signal transmission, which is located on the street. A simple user will not be able to determine the breakdown. if other causes are eliminated, then the converter simply needs to be replaced with a new one.
- Interference when receiving a signal from a satellite . This could be tall buildings, tree branches, snow or dirt on the plate itself. Sometimes it is necessary to reinstall the dish in a different location and adjust the signal again.
The main thing is to take your time and check all parts carefully so as not to miss minor failures and malfunctions.
Writes “Boot” on the TV
If the “Boot” message appears on the receiver itself, then you need to double-check all the receiver settings. You can fix the problem with this inscription by doing the following:
- enter the “settings” menu and click the “reset” command, then be sure to confirm;
- after the reboot, be sure to enter the password in the line that appears on the screen; if you don’t have your own, then the standard password for all models is 0000;
- set the interface language, operator, time zone, location;
- then turn on automatic channel search mode;
- At the final stage, you need to save all the settings and found channels so that you don’t have to repeat the procedure again.
Can't turn it on from the remote control
Sometimes the problem is not in the set-top box itself, but in the remote control . Then the receiver can be easily turned on directly from the control panel. The first thing you need to do is change the batteries in the remote control. If the problem is not solved, then the remote control must be disassembled to understand what is wrong.
To check if the remote control works, you need to take your smartphone and turn on the camera. Point the remote control LED signal at the camera and evaluate the result:
- regular, stable flashes indicate that the remote control is working normally;
- intermittent lighting indicates a problem with the remote control board;
- If, with fresh batteries, there is no signal from the remote control at all, it is broken and cannot be restored.
If the problem is in the board, you need:
- disassemble the remote control device and wipe the board with a damp cloth;
- then you need to leave the remote control disassembled for a while.
If after this it does not work, you need to buy a new one.
technical issues
The most common problems look like this::
- The receiver display is blinking - problems with the power supply;
- when the word “Boot” appears, there is a problem with the software or failure of the microcircuit;
- all indicators light up - a sign of a software failure;
- the inscription “Short circuit! Check antenna cable! - short circuit;
- the inscription “ER31” means the motherboard has failed.
It is very difficult for the user to change the motherboard on his own, so in this case it is better to contact a specialist.
Doesn't work after software update
Problems that arise after a software update are also a common occurrence. You can restore normal operation of the equipment using a simple algorithm :
- Open the settings menu.
- Select the “Reset” command.
- Confirm the action and wait until the receiver reboots.
- Enter the standard code that will be required in the password line. This is the combination 0000.
- Then set all the standard parameters again: time zone, language, location, operator.
- At the final stage, you need to automatically or manually find channels, save them and you can enjoy watching.
Signal coding or access restriction
The first thing to do in this case is to make sure you have the Tricolor basic package. When some channels work and others don't, it's usually a matter of payment.
. Almost always, the television company warns the subscriber about the expiration of the deadline. You can view your own balance in your Personal Account on the service provider’s website www.tricolor.tv. If everything is fine, try turning off and, after a while, turning on again. If it doesn't help, call Technical Assistance.
Why the TV does not work with similar “symptoms” is sometimes explained by the lack of contacts in the smart card slot.
Reboot it, pull it out and put it back in its original place. The technique works quite often.
The main causes of problems with popular console models
Some problems also depend on the model of a particular receiver . There are problems that are more common depending on the specific model.
GS 8306
This is a common technology model in the world of communications. It refers to that variation of receivers where the power supply is located outside. This means that if it breaks, it is easier to purchase a new one and there is no need to disassemble the entire receiver.
If the receiver suddenly begins to confuse the channels or turns off by itself quite often, it is possible that it has run out of time and you should purchase a new receiver.
GS U510
- Sometimes this model does not record channels using a timer after flashing the firmware. To remove this malfunction, just format the flash drive.
- Also, the model often has problems with the power supply, which you simply need to change or take the device to a service center.
GS B531M
After rebooting the receiver and updating the software, the yellow indicator lights up and the receiver does not start.
- In this case, you need to reset the settings to factory defaults and enter everything again.
- Then enable automatic channel search and save them.
Assessing the state of the physical connection
Receiver malfunctions may be due to lack of power. Need to check:
- functionality of the socket;
- condition of the cable and plug;
- the power supply is working properly.
During long-term use, it is quite possible that the plug has become loose or a wire has broken somewhere. Everything needs to be checked carefully and carefully.
As for the power supply, checking its condition is extremely simple. The Tricolor GS 8306 receiver, compared to many more modern models, has an external power supply. Accordingly, examining his condition is quite simple. To do this, it is enough to use special testers or simply connect a working model of the power supply.
It should be noted that if, while watching satellite television, the receiver turns off spontaneously, you already need to think about the state of the electrical connection and power supply.
Where to go if the problem is not solved?
If you cannot solve the problem yourself, then you need to contact specialists . Especially if the device is still under warranty, which is usually a year. Service center employees will be able to find the problem after a free diagnosis, and then repair the broken part.
If the receiver has a long service life behind it, then it is worth replacing it with new equipment, since it will cost less.
Any equipment has the ability to fail. If the Tricolor TV receiver does not turn on, the reason may simply be a broken socket or bad batteries from the remote control. But sometimes the device itself fails, especially if it has a long service life. Therefore, you first need to conduct a full diagnosis, and then solve the identified problem.
Guarantee
A faulty receiver can be repaired free of charge by a service center within a year. The warranty period starts from the date of purchase. If the cause of the malfunction is additional elements: remote control, cable, then the warranty period is 6 months . You can activate an electronic guarantee on the Tricolor website; in such cases, you do not need to present a receipt or paper coupon.
You can also check the warranty period on the operator’s website; to do this, you need to enter the set-top box code in a special field. The warranty does not apply to the smart card, or if the breakdown occurred due to the fault of the buyer.

I think you are wrong. I propose to discuss it. Write to me in PM, let's chat.
Congratulations, great answer.
Don't be fooled by this.
I don't see your logic
I think this has already been discussed.
But let’s argue that I have a different opinion, although I liked the article.
Very useful topic
I think you're wrong
I absolutely agree with you. There is something to this and I think it’s a very great idea. I completely agree with you.
I've been reading a lot on this issue today.
Self-tuning Tricolor TV
“Tricolor” may appear on the TV screen. No signal" or "Error code 0". Low signal or weather conditions may affect satellite performance.
To check the signal level, you must:
- Press the “F1” key on the remote control several times. If model 8306 Tricolor has “Error 0”, press the red and blue buttons.
- 2 scales will appear in the left corner of the screen: they should reach 70% or higher.
- If the signal level is less than half, you need to check the condition of the dish.
This parameter is also affected by precipitation and cloudiness. On a sunny day, if the Tricolor shows “No access,” you need to move the satellite dish a little. Rules:
- move gradually, checking the signal level every five seconds;
- if the signal does not appear, turn in the opposite direction;
- When the reception level reaches the desired value, leave the plate in the selected position.
Please note: Some receivers may have lower signal strength. This means that they simply have a low scale.
Before using the method described above to remove Error 0, you should inspect the device to see if there are leaves, snow or any debris on it. You need to remove disturbing objects or wait for weather conditions to improve.
The owner needs to constantly look at what happened to the scale as soon as he changed the position of the plate. If the settings are performed incorrectly, the Tricolor receiver will write “Error” and stable operation can only be restored by calling a technician.
