How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the outlet is safe and not overloaded. Unplug the unit before opening any panels.

  • Check outlet and breaker: Test the outlet with another device and reset any tripped breakers or GFCI outlets.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace the power cord if damaged.
  • Access main control PCB: Remove the rear panel and inspect the board for burnt components or loose connectors.
  • Check internal fuse: Some Antarctic Star boards have an onboard fuse. Test and replace the PCB fuse if blown, but investigate why it blew.
  • Replace main control PCB: If power is present at the board input but nothing powers on, replace the main control PCB.
