EB832 lost power

[mrtian97]

Seems a common issue, my Apex EL EB 832 lost power for the 110 v outlets, all 8 outlets. The LEDs are all showing Orange lights and the EB can communicate with my Apex.
I am getting inkbird for temp controller until I fix or replace the EB.
Just want to get opinion, is it worth to fix?
Lastly, I only use the EB for temp controller and power my DOS pumps, which the DOS pump power still works (using the link instead of the 110v), is it worth to fix or replace or just stay with inkbird? All the other outlets just on all the time

Thanks

Assuming it’s the common failure of the power supply going out then it’s a fairly easy fix if you can solder. There is a member of the forum who sales a board to use the newer style meanwell power supply on the older EB832. I just repaired one with his board and it was cheap and easy to fix.

If you decide not to fix it then I’d possibly be interested in buying it depending on price.
