I sent my EB832 into Neptune for repair and they charged me $175 to repair. Now I have a few power supplies on hand that I picked up for less than 4 bucks and will repair myself from here on out. Pick up some Solder wick to de solder next time you need to perform this fix. 👍
After a power outage in my Garage today , my energy bar832 apparently is not working all lights are on but no current on outlets. Thank you for this video you save me a lot of money.
Good to know about the fix, but oof that soldering is no bueno. I'm not trying to be a dick, but that is some super sketchy to dangerous work that nobody should ever repeat. You never want to bore out the through hole on a PCB like that. There is a pad that connects to a trace inside the PCB that you have destroyed which is why you have balls of dull looking solder instead of nice and shiny divots. You are dealing with mains to DC conversion on those traces and there is probably very minimal connection between the leg and the trace inside the PCB which could arc and potentially burn your house down.
Those are capacitors. And they do tend to be a high failure item in electronics. If you're going to swap the entire sub board then desoldering the pins from the top is FAR easier. Then just place the new board on the pins and resolder. The key is flux. It will help in both directions. Also it would be an even better move to test the caps on the "bad" board to find the issue. If it's a bad cap then it's a .30 repair.
Wish I saw when I discovered the exact same problem. Excellent instruction for the fix. Bought a new bar (discounted from Neptune) but will keep and fix the old one as a spare.
I love you....!!!!! Thank you... espero que sea mi solución. Se fue y vino la electricidad de golpe y fue ahí cuando fallo mi apex. Tiene el mismo problema que comentas. Voy a comprar y reparar, te dejo saber el resultado. Gracias por tan valiosa informacion.
I was looking for answers on reef2reef and couldn't find anything. You should send the article link. I swear their search function doesn't work properly. If I'm having an issue someone else has to be having the same issues and likes to tear into things.
Thanks a lot for this, i got a question please dose 220v devices working on energy bar 832? I saw a video on UA-cam showing that each outlet have a rely will work on 110 or 220v. Can you please confirm?
@@hieuuunguyenduc310 finally i tried it by my self and its totally fine and working i even tried a hair dryer, still the apex will give you a voltage triangle warning and will not read the power consumption for each outlet let correctly. I have a video to approve that i can send it to you.
Thank you very much for your video, it helped me a lot. Thanks to you, my energy bar is working again.
Thanks

I followed all your steps but I can not longer connect to my fusion and I cannot get the blue light to come on. Has anyone had this issue?
Do you have the Amazon link?
Sorry, in the description

Good to see you fixed the Eb8. 👍

Awesome video!! Been looking for a fix! thanks
Thanks, you just saved me $200, this works for me.
Did the ribbon for the front led indicators not get connected?
You saved me hundreds of dollars, this worked!! thank you so much for this video!
Having difficulty finding part. One that is posted here is correct but posts the wrong part on amazon. Can someone send the correct link pleaee

I had this exact failure. I followed the thread of reef2reef and got it working perfect. Great video!
Saves some $$$ for sure!

just tore into mine, after it did this since we lost power earlier today... ugg
I just did mine, fixed it!!
How do I turn one into a 10 outlet plug with the old black metal housing?
No ideah
How do you ask the chip at Amazon. I do not find it.
It is in the description of the video
Is a 1000ma one too much they seem to have sold out on the 500ma
Not sure? 🤷🏻♂️
I had to go find one on eBay instead, I have an extra now? It came in a 2 pack

@@JCSReefing Thank you a lot
I am also looking into this. What video did you watch?
