Ai prime dead

[skipo99]

Hi,

got home today and one prime was off.
Checked a different power supply and broke it apart noticed this issue.
Can it be fixed or is it dead?
Thanks

That's one driver. Sadly (and a guess) it didn't fail open.
@_AV fixes stuff..

The landing for that cap is in really bad shape.if you don’t know how to solder I’d suggest having someone fix it.

AI or can it be repaired elsewhere?

If it’s outta warranty I’d outsource locally but if it’s in warranty I’d definitely contact AI. You could even reach out to them first even if out of warranty.

What kind of place would be able to repair it?

@oreo5457 suggested someone a few posts up. I’d start there maybe.

@_AV would be the go to guy for these sort of fixes.
