At first i thought ihe power supply had it, but I replaced it, and still the same. Anyone had a similar problem ? as you have obviously opened it, you should check all the cables from the control unit to the modules and back to the TP-Link WR703N board. It's possible the TP-Link is dead, you can replace it with either a replacement off ebay or a Raspberry Pi. Or your Control Unit board is dead (is your power supply switching on when you switch on the power button?) If you have other working Avalon units, it's possible to hook one or more modules of the dead Avalon to the working system via USB (but it requires you to modify the software settings to scan for the additional modules) Title: Re: Avalon problem - wont turn on Post by: rudrigorc2 on June 02, 2013, 11:08:21 PM is that batch 2 or batch 1?
Title: Re: Avalon problem - wont turn on Post by: vdragon on June 02, 2013, 11:42:09 PM I think its batch 1, since the guy I bought them from gotthem pretty early. Will continue checking things in the morning, to late for serious work.

Have a look if you can find a sticker like this one: https://i.imgur.com/teOx40U.jpg which is located inside the case, near one of the unused ventilator vents (where the fourth module should go) https://i.imgur.com/68D5Stt.jpg This is an AV1-3: Avalon batch 1, 3 modules Title: Re: Avalon problem - wont turn on Post by: vdragon on June 03, 2013, 09:19:58 AM Well problem solved. The PSU died, and the other PSU I wanted to put in was dead out of the box ???. So anyway I tried one more PSU and its back and hashing :D. Btw it is a first batch, 3 modules
Title: Re: Avalon problem - wont turn on Post by: vdragon on June 03, 2013, 09:20:15 AM Thanks to everyone who tried to help

This goes double for hard drives.

Kinda interested...but damn that is a steep price for a 20$ part.20$ part for 120$? Perhaps we should make a thread for known sellers of replacement Avalon parts. (At least until Yifu gets his warranty plan into place) |
