Possible Causes
Failed internal switch‑mode power supply (SMPS) on control board, Short on low‑voltage rail (5 V or 12 V), Overloaded accessory (e.g., Wi‑Fi module drawing too much current), Aging electrolytic capacitors on SMPS
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before opening the charger. SMPS circuits can retain charge; avoid touching capacitors.
- Visual inspection: Look for bulging or leaking capacitors on the control board’s power supply section.
- Disconnect accessories: If possible, temporarily disconnect non‑essential modules (Wi‑Fi, RFID) to see if the fault clears when power is restored.
- Check for burnt smell: A strong odor near the SMPS area indicates component failure.
- Board‑level repair is not recommended: Replace the entire main control board or SMPS module as specified by Hyundai.
