Help- This section of the menu contains a list of frequently asked questions regarding the cost of services, services provided by Tricolor TV, settings, malfunctions, etc.

If your receiver model GS 8306 from Tricolor TV does not turn on, there may be a variety of reasons. Often, they are explained by a “banal” lack of power, due to the unstable - “shaky” position of the plug in the socket, but sometimes, the “silence” of the receiver means the presence of a real technical problem. Below, we will try to find ways to make a suddenly broken device turn on.

Technical description

First of all, it is necessary to emphasize that the GS 8300 series receivers are quite common equipment in the telecommunications system. Depending on the model, receivers have some differences in characteristics and layout, but fundamentally, their designs are very unified. Let's start getting acquainted with the 8306 model that interests us from the rear panel of the device. All outputs of the Tricolor receiver have letter designations, and this will make our task much easier.

Let's understand the notation and functional Rear panel output assignments:

If the Tricolor receiver freezes on a “black screen” or does not respond to the remote control, be sure to make sure that there are connections on the rear panel and that the supply cables are intact.

The peculiarity of the “zero sixth” is that this receiver does not have a scoreboard where you can track it working condition. Instead, the functionality and malfunctions of the receiver can be identified thanks to signals from indicator lights on its front panel. Therefore, the purpose and operation of these alarms should be considered in more detail:


Of the GS 8300 series receivers, the GS 8305 and GS 8306 models are equipped with indicators. Beyond this model range, LED signaling devices have the GS b211 prefix. Notification about the operation of the device and its possible malfunctions in these receivers occurs in a similar way.

There are other reasons for a situation when the Tricolor TV GS 8306 receiver does not turn on. Let's look at them in detail.

Information about the absence of a signal may indicate for various reasons malfunctions. Let's look at the main ones:


Signal coding or access restriction

The first thing to do in this case is to make sure you have basic package Tricolor. When some channels work and others don't, it's usually in payment. Almost always, the television company warns the subscriber about the expiration of the deadline. Own balance can be viewed in 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, remove it and insert it into old place. The technique works quite often.

Random blinking of indicators

These signs indicate a failure in software device or its failure motherboard. Repairing or reprogramming a device involves costs with minimal guarantee of its subsequent productive operation. In such cases, it is better to buy a new device.

Another reason could be power supply failure. This problem often happens with older models where the unit is built into the receiver. On the GS 8306 it is located separately. Replacing with a new one may help.

The main feature of early models of satellite TV receivers, for example, the GS 8360, is the absence of a display on the front panel. Because of this, when the Tricolor GS 8306 receiver does not turn on, the causes of the failure can be quite difficult to identify. How to understand what is being reported LED indicators, and put the device in order? Let's try to figure it out.

Perhaps it's not the receiver at all.

If set-top box does not respond to the power-on command, this does not mean that it is faulty. The reasons may be much simpler:

  • remote control failure;
  • failure of the power supply;
  • breakdown of the plug, power cord, socket, etc.

In a situation where the GS 8306 does not turn on and the power indicator on the panel does not light up, these factors should be checked first.

Problems with the remote control

To check the functionality of the remote control, we recommend taking the following steps:

  • replace the batteries in the device;
  • try to turn on the set-top box from another, obviously working remote control;
  • try turning on the receiver using the power button on the case.

Tip: if the remote control breaks down, it can be replaced with a new one from the same dealer where the equipment was originally purchased.

Checking the physical connection

The reason that the GS 8306 receiver does not work may be a failure in its connection to the power supply. Here's what you should check first:

  • integrity of the power supply cable;
  • the serviceability of the outlet to which the device is connected;
  • the tightness of the power cord plug to the connector.

It would also be useful to evaluate the serviceability of the wiring in the house. Perhaps in the area to which the TV equipment is connected, it has failed due to physical damage or a short circuit.

Power supply failure

Unlike modern devices, for the GS 8306 the power supply is not built into the case, but is routed to the plug connecting the device to the socket. Therefore, you can check its serviceability quite simply:

  • through external examination;
  • using special testers;
  • by replacing the block with a working version.

If, as a result of connecting to another power supply, the set-top box starts working, the reason is clearly a breakdown of this device.

Advice! The serviceability of the power supply and the wires suitable to it should also be checked in the case when the set-top box periodically turns off spontaneously during operation.

Crash after update

Often problems with the device occur after a software update. It looks like this: the GS 8306 receiver does not turn on, the LEDs light up and blink in random order. All this indicates that there was a failure during the firmware process. It is possible that the receiver was turned off before the update took place, or there was simply a voltage drop in the power supply that resulted in a violation of the procedure. Also, similar behavior of the device occurs in cases where the user installed firmware from unverified sources.

In any case, before starting serious repairs, you should try updating the software on the console again.

How to reflash a device

The easiest option for flashing is downloading updates from satellite. To do this, you need to go to channel No. 333 and follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Important! While downloading updates, the set-top box should never be turned off.

If these steps do not help, you can download the firmware:

  • from the Internet to a flash card;
  • from a known working receiver directly to a faulty device.

It is advisable to carry out such operations only under the supervision of a specialist. Without proper experience, there is a chance to completely damage the receiver.

DIY repair

In the case when the Tricolor TV GS 8306 set-top box does not turn on, and that’s all simple ways have already been tested, all that remains is to open the case and look for a hardware problem. It is not worth doing this without proper experience and special tools. But if the user has the skills to work with digital equipment and the corresponding tool base, you can try.

Important! After self-repair the subscriber loses the warranty on the device. All services of the operator’s service center, if contacted, will have to be paid according to the price list.

Checking controllers

At the beginning of the repair, by removing the cover from the device, it is necessary to check whether its working elements receive adequate power. Even if the power supply is working normally, the reason that the Tricolor TV GS 8306 receiver does not turn on may be a lack of voltage on one of its controllers.

To carry out the test, you must use a special tester. The operating voltage of the element is indicated on the inductor of each controller. When checked by a tester, its readings must match the markings. If the tester readings on one of the elements differ from the inscription on the element, the part must be removed from the board and replaced with a new one.

CPU check

  • a memory dump is found on the board;
  • using a tester, find out which leg of the microcircuit the data output is located on;
  • install the oscilloscope probe on this foot;
  • check the instrument readings.

The oscilloscope must determine whether data is being read from the device's memory by the processor. If the result is negative, you can replace the processor or purchase a new receiver.

Flashing the console

If all the tested elements work normally, but the GS 8306 does not turn on, the indicator on the panel is on and flashing, the cause of the problem lies in the software. The simplest option in such a situation is to unsolder the memory chip from the device and load it onto it new firmware through a special adapter. Once the download is complete, the memory module is soldered into place. If the user does not have the appropriate skills or does not have access to firmware, it is worth contacting service center operator or one of the dealers.
