devman Posted January 7, 2021 Share 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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aprayoga Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 @devman Could you measure the voltage at molex power connector? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devman Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share 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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devman Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share 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.

gprovost Posted January 11, 2021 Share 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devman Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share 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.
