@2mk perhaps we should move the DOS repair to a new thread.... If you could make a thread with what information you have collected so far, and then @ me there and we can discuss it! The one you linked is almost certainly the Neptune supplier....

I am really glad there are more sellers offering the part now, definitely easiest if amazon supplies!

Same issue here, commands ok and indicators lights (on and off), but partial outlets without energy.
Solved: After delete EB832 from my dashboard in https://apexfusion.com/ , and reconfiguring, it works fine until now... but I will not trust any more on my energy bar, afraid to travel now...

@SVP Check the first page of this post, It might be able to help. Also check the mentioned thread made by
@_AV , that is a bit more involved, but can offer a better return on repair lifetime to the EB832

Did you purchase any replacement power supply boards that you would like to sell? Not trying to wait 2-4 weeks for part to arrive.

@fishdude123 i did, but you may prefer to order off of amazon, they will get it to you faster. I would recommend doing the capacitor repair documented by @_AV unless you prefer a slightly easier (but not as steadfast) repair

Replacing the capacitors shouldn't be that much harder, right
 
Repair on PSU works however indicator lights are not lighting up.

What an awesome thread @MadeForThat ! Thank you!

I recently picked up an APEX with a "questionable" EB32. It is exhibiting the problem described in this thread, warning on the dashboard, DC ports click, AC do not.

I'm not willing to wait for parts from China - found these with Prime shipping and am going to give them a try. They have the same specs, same size and look like copies of the other listing. 2 for $10 worth a try. Will report back.

Hey, I am in the same situation and Neptune asking me $200 to replace mine.
I am handy and would like to try to fix myself. Thanks for the link of amazon for the power supply, did you get and does it work for you, I wanted to order too.
thanks.

Those modules worked perfectly. The red LED is a bit bright and actually shines through the plastic so if you think that would bug you, either desolder the LED or maybe put some black tape over it.

I replaced the fan and it is not coming on. Anyone know why it wouldn't work? Are the temp controlled or something?

I would like to thank the sponsors of this tread because with just basic soldering skills I could change the 12V power supply and now my EB is working perfectly! Now I can trust my aqua automation again.

I just want to recommend a solder suction to remove the old Power supply.
