I've had a the robot for about 2.5 years and this past week it won't start up to clean the pool. When I plug in the power supply unit, everything lights up and works on the PS Unit itself, but the robot doesn't drive (all button settings for days, etc. seem to work fine). I took it apart and inspected the propeller to make sure it wasn't clogged, and everything with the robot itself seems fine. I tried looking at the voltage readings and here's what I found:
Cable reading from power supply: 119v (AC)
Power supply unit female output (on box itself): about 6v (DC)
So the fact that the output voltage is so low makes me almost certain it's the power supply. My question is, can I do anything to repair it myself, or am I getting in over my head? I'm a tinkerer/DIY guy, but I'm not sure what it would entail. What are my options here? Can I troubleshoot further?

Any luck getting that robot to cooperate? Still looking for someone on the forum to reply? We'll keep this thread active as long as you need to with additional replies.
