Can someone point me in the right direction to find info on troubleshooting this. The manuals and Goldline/Hayward websites don't give any detail as to what the cause or solution to this error could be. Thanks in advance!!

Try checking all of the fuses on the main circuit board. You might also remove the main circuit board and check for bad solder joints.

The first place to check is the cable between the power supply/controller and the cell. Make sure both ends are securely connected and that the cable isn't cut or deeply nicked.

If, after checking what Jason suggests, you still have a No Cell Power error, see this:

You're not the 1st, as you can see.

Thanks for the great suggestions and taking the time to respond. I tried looking through the discussion threads but I guess I didn't dig deep enough. I'll update when I get a solution.

Welcome to TFP!!

If it weren't for the 'your post' option - my ability to search would be greatly diminished

If you still have problems - maybe a computer moron, like myself, will be able to help you

No success. Well I did see what appeared to be a burned solder joint; applied some solder to it but still getting "no cell power" indication (following insturctions on nocellpower.com). I saw where someone said there may be another repair for this (other than replacing the entire board). Any other suggestions? Should I have tried to clean of the old solder before applying additional? Thanks for the input.

Just stumbled across this thread - funny that I had the same problem on our old pool but didn't know about the forum at that time - I noticed that if I pushed on the relay it would click and all was well - pulled out the board and saw the burned up solder joint on the backside.

I too was unable to solder the joint back to the board and get good contact, just too much damage, howoever if you look at the layout of the board you will see that "post" is connected to a couple other posts via the trace on the board. I soldered a jumper wire from the affected post to the larger post above it effectively bypassing the trace on the board. I wish I had taken pictures, but if you look at the board you will see a large power wire feeding into the larger post, that is the one you want to tap into and jumper from it to the burned up one.


I attached the photo from the website mentioned above with where I placed the jumper wire from my best recollection. If you have a multimeter you should have continuity between those two points in the picture. If you do have continuity and still have problems then it is somewhere else - possibly the relay itself. Ours worked for the next couple years until we moved.

Thanks Steve, This is priceless! I owe you a beer! I just completed this repair.

Is this particular (Goldline Aqua Plus) system something to stay away from?

I don't think it's a reason to avoid - just a repairable bug - we had ours for about 6 years, replaced 1 cell at about 3 years, then replaced whole system with the full automation version and it was running fine for another 2-3 years.
