Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before opening any covers. Do not bypass safety fuses.

  • Check outlet: Test the wall outlet with another device to confirm power is available.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. If damaged, replace the cord set.
  • Internal fuse: If you are experienced, open the base and locate the internal fuse on the PCB or near the power entry. Test with a multimeter and replace only with the same type and rating if blown.
  • Power switch and PCB: Verify that the power switch has continuity when ON. If the switch is good and the fuse is intact but there is still no power, the main control PCB or power supply module likely needs replacement.
