Hey people, as the title suggests, the round dish is stuck pointing directly up.
Things I have tried:
- Stowing the dish, unplugging for period of time (40min-24 hrs) and upon powering on, it boots, unstows and stuck facing up
- Factory resetting the router
- moving the dish to various locations (i have a big property, flat on the ground - no obstructions, putting it up on my roof with nothing around it)
- leaving it over 24 hours in an optimum location (according to the app anyway)
... and still stuck in the t-pose
Some interesting information:
- It seems when the satellite(s) are directly over the dish (once ~ 10 minutes) it gets a burst of internet and the dish goes online. This lasts about 3 seconds. (remember, the dish is still in t-pose)
- When looking at the outages graph in the app, when the dish manages to establish a link, the graph shows that there are obstructions during the brief seconds it connects.
- I am in the northern hemisphere (Almaty, Kazakhstan). I know for a fact that starlink works here as I have seen it in action by other users.
This brings me to think that the dish I have is faulty, as everywhere I have read states that the dish should re-align after some time. Mine does not. I am in the process of purchasing high-performance dish and getting it shipped here but I would really like to exhaust all options with dishy first.
Any advice anyone can can give me to try and rescue the dish?
Thanks in advance!
