Possible Causes

Blown internal fuse on main PCB, Failed main control board, Damaged power cord

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before opening any panels. Internal fuses are not user‑serviceable on all models.

Steps:

  • Verify outlet: Test the outlet with another device.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage. Replace the cord if compromised.
  • Access main board: Remove the rear panel and locate the main PCB. Some Simzlife boards have a small fuse; inspect it visually for a broken filament.
  • Replace fuse or board: If the fuse is user‑replaceable and blown, replace it with the same type and rating. If it blows again immediately, or if there is no accessible fuse, the main board likely needs replacement.
