All SATA drives down after (coincidental?) update

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?

@devman Could you measure the voltage at molex power connector?

 

[devman 13]

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

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

@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.

In Hong Kong.  Thanks!

@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!
