Power Supply not working

Post by feetinflips »

Hi,

I was using the 2B yesterday with the PSU and today when I've connected it again, the unit is only working on battery. What could have gone wrong, please?

Check that both of the wires are still soldered at the PSU's jack plug, it's a common problem. If one has come loose re-solder it back in place.

Without some remote magic it's not so easy to guess ;)

Do you have a (digital) multimeter to check the output of the PSU?

I will check tomorrow at work with a multi meter … is it likely that it could be something from the box?

Very unlikely. Because your box is still working ok on battery it's 99% certain to be down to the PSU, maybe a loose connection as I mentioned above.

So I'm assuming it wasn't an E-Stim Systems PSU. If so, are you sure it's safe? Unless it is a *genuine* Class II PSU you could be risking your life.

Class II is *very* important!
