butters471 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Has anyone had any issues with buried (in PVC) connect? Background: I set it up 1 month ago. It worked fine. During installation the line got cut. I ordered a replacement long cable. Set it up, it worked fine. I buried the cable and used a pole mount. It was working fine. Bad storm came through that night. It stopped. Went to "Offline" status. Submitted a ticket, they said they find something wrong with my dish and would send me a replacement. Replacement would not work with the already installed cable. Ran new cable laying on ground. It worked, but app said the dish had motor issues. Used old dish, and it worked with no issues. Worked fine for a week. Decided to change out the under ground line. Installed new line, everything worked fine (1 hour). Went to setup a new router using the network adapter, did a factory reset and it didn't connect. Disconnect the network adapter, did another factory reset, now it says it is "Offline" and won't work. I know it's not the cable because it was working fine. The only thing that changed was doing a factory reset. Please help, this is extremely frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarlinkLeader Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I suspect a grounding issue or cable problem. is the conduit ( PVC ) filled with water by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butters471 Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 From the last time I removed/replaced the cable, the cable was slightly damp. I do have new sod, so I have sprinklers going pretty often. I'm not sure how that would be any different than when I had it laying in the grass before I put it in the ground. The last cable I took out, I cut it open in several areas to look at the cable. Internally, everything was intact. I'm not sure how the cable would get grounded if it is intact.
