There's a flux capacitor?! ?

Agreed did you check the flux capacitor? Easy when you know how , or you need pictures?

I would love to have a picture

Good God, it's true!

 

 

Gentlemen, I now have a battery failure on that powered RIO module (of course) and only 9V on the board which makes sense.

 

All the right lights are on (flashing red on RIO) fixed green on PSU (I removed the shroud).

 

Can someone who knows please confirm that I need to replace the PSU module?

Ps forgot to say I have 220V measured coming into the PSU

The SMPS will be likely be blown like above.

You can't test more than in and out unless you open and they are not designed to be user serviceable.

You could try power cycling everything and a new battery but most likely you need a new one.

Thanks SWB, so can I get hold of just the SMPS part or do I have to replace the whole thing?

 

i was supposed to leave to go on holiday today, Sod’s law. Any way I could rig up a 12V 4Amp supply in the SMPS’s  place temporarily? 
 

i guess the RS 485 bus would throw up an error if I did that.

For anyone encountering a similar problem, got a new powered RIO but will just try swapping out the power supply part at first.
