I have an older EB832, says Intertek on the back, mfg date is 12/2018.
I had to replace it because it stopped powering up, yellow button does nothing.
When plugged in, no indicator lights turn on, no Neptune Logo light, nothing.
It does click every so often, so something is going on.
Is there a fix for this?
 
Have ypu had a power outage lately?

Those older 832s have a tendency of frying the 12v psu. Luckily it's an easy fix.

If you're handy with a voltmeter and feel comfortable opening it up to test for 12v, then you can either replace it or do the capacitor upgrade.

@_AV is the expert on these things and worth getting his input.
