Possible Causes

Loose internal wiring harness, Failing power adapter (for smaller tabletop units), Cracked solder joints on PCB, Faulty power switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before opening the housing.

Steps:

  • Check external adapter: For models with an external AC adapter, test with a known-good adapter of the same voltage and current rating.
  • Inspect wiring: Open the base and gently tug on connectors to ensure they are secure. Reseat any loose plugs.
  • Tap test: With the unit running (and covers on), gently tap the housing. If it shuts off, suspect a loose connection or cracked solder joint on the main control PCB.
  • Replace PCB or adapter: If wiring is secure but the issue persists, replace the power adapter or main control PCB as appropriate.
