AquaRite Power light goes off

[Aquatica]

Hi Guys,

This AquaRite is kinda old and running V1.40. already replaced the cell last year and now when I start system up power light goes on as well as generation light but then a few seconds later both go off...no lights on at all.

any idea what is wrong? I have another control panel I can use for parts in the meantime until I purchase a new control panel. or I could just purchase the part needed to fix it. my first time going into and trying to fix the board..

any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks. replaced the board with an old one I had and it's working now. so it was the board.

I don't know how far down that thread you read, but the inrush current limiter seems to be a common failure. If you look at that failed board and find that the following item is cracked or charred, you may be able to fix it cheaply if you have a source for electronic components.
