Possible Causes

Failed internal SMPS (switch‑mode power supply), Short on low‑voltage rail, Loose connector between SMPS and control board, Surge damage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and wait for capacitors to discharge before touching internal boards.

  • Visual inspection: Look for bulging capacitors, burn marks, or a burnt smell near the low‑voltage power supply section.
  • Check connectors: Ensure the low‑voltage harness from the SMPS to the main control board is firmly seated.
  • Minimal testing: If you have the skills and tools, measure the low‑voltage outputs (e.g., 5 V, 12 V) with the unit powered, following all safety precautions.
  • Replace module/board: If the auxiliary supply is unstable or missing, replace the Polestar power supply module or the entire main control board assembly.
