devman Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 armbianmonitor -u: http://ix.io/2Lae Did an apt update/upgrade & reboot today, and the system came back up but none of the drives did. Imaged a new SD card with stock armbian, and still no luck. Measured the voltage of the PS (at the plug, not the molex connector) at 12.3v Anything else I can check/try?
aprayoga Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 @devman Could you measure the voltage at molex power connector?
devman Posted January 8, 2021 Author Posted January 8, 2021 with all the drives removed, I get: 5v reads 5.05v 12v reads 12.10v with 2 drives on one connector, the remaining connector reads: 5v reads 5.05v 12v fluctuates between 10.3 & 11.9v
devman Posted January 11, 2021 Author Posted January 11, 2021 Since the original (Helios4) is EOL and the new Helios64 is backordered waiting for a second production run, I know the odds are low, but.. do you have any (bare board or full kit) available for replacement/purchase/whatever? After it being rock solid for so long, I kinda redesigned my network around centralized storage and it's a bit of a pain atm. Thanks
gprovost Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 @devman Based on your measure (the 12V fluctuating when HDD are connected), it's a dying PSU. So you just need to replace it. In which countries are you located ? We can provide you link for a replacement PSU that you can order on Amazon.
devman Posted January 13, 2021 Author Posted January 13, 2021 @gprovostHit up the local computer mall for a replacement power supply. Closest they had was 12v 10A to barrel, and then a barrel to 4-pin adapter. Anyways, everything checked out correctly, and no more errors. Thanks! 1
