Is there any chance that the PSU is in good condition because things like this happen sometime when PSU need to be replace, if not it could be because the M3 watt was 1785.

How is that a problem? it's only common sense that every miner comes with a PSU that can deliver more power than the miner needs.

Try this process, disconnect everything, check if the power switch located at the bottom of the division if not accidentally turn off

There is no "power switch" in these PSUs.

I will advise you to read this article (https://www.neweggbusiness.com/smartbuyer/components/how-to-troubleshoot-a-pc-power-supply/) for more help.

This is regular PC PSU, has nothing to do with M3's PSU.



OP, what is the voltage on the socket? how many of them do you have? do they all have the same issue? does any light come on? fans spin? please provide all this information in detail so we can help you.

What do you mean about this bolded part? Do you mean that if you plug the power supply to the miner it won't turn on or if you plug the power supply to the power source it doesn't turn on?

If the problem is the PSU is not turning on when plug into the miner your problem is under your miner possible some shorted parts. If you have a multitester better check the PSU voltage to check if the PSU is giving enough power or not.
If the PSU is giving normal voltage it means your miner is shorted. Use multitester to check the terminal if it short.

Update here if the miner has some short parts we can try to find which part is shorted.

Do you have a working m3?

If you have a working m3 I can help you troubleshoot it.

Do you mind telling me if you live in the usa or another country.

I can give some links if we find the psu is dead.

A working m3 would really help if you have one.

Please let us know if you do.
