How do I check my S4 PSU?

[thebonenz]

Hi Fam,

I woke up today to a dead s4

I beleive we had a power outage or surge since I had to flick on the mains.

I've tried swapping out the power cord but I still have no power going to the miner.

No lights at all.

I've tried every forum search I could think of but haven't found anything helpful.

What should I do from here?

Please help! & Thanks!

If your PSU isn't displaying one of three colors (Green, Yellow, or Red) more than likely it's toast.

To make sure it's the PSU that's fried rather than your S4 I would strongly recommend finding a suitable replacement PSU (even if it's just a loaner for the purpose of diagnosis)

Is there a way to check which batch the s4 came from? I think they sold me an early batch when they said it wasn't...
