Warranty replacement fried?
-
I totally removed the board and psu from the printer and used a new set of power wires and made sure they were installed into the block correctly and it still doesn't power on.I also checked the terminal block connections to the board and continuity from the screw to the soldered pins on the board are fine.I looked at the board and nothing that I can see shows any physical damage.I also checked the VSSA fuse and it is giving me a reading of .9-1.0 ohm.Anything else I can check?
-
Start with removing all cables/wires, just let the ones connected which you need to control the Duet (if it is Wifi, even better) & power.
Just to make sure no other wire is creating a short (which isn't enough to blow a fuse but to have the PSU running in some sort of failsafe).
What is the Amperage on that line when the Voltage is dropping?
-
That is what I just did the only wires connected to the Duet Wifi were vin and ground and it was reading less than 2v and the psu was supplying 13.4v.
-
Tried swapping the PSU? Sounds odd ... but apart from the Duet, this is the only piece which you didn't replace yet?
-
I ended up spending quite a bit more than I wanted to and a better PSU is on my list but I don't just want to throw money at the problem.i purchased the best when it came to the controller to try to avoid that in the first place.

I mean, at least you can try ... sort of cheap ATX PSU just for troubleshooting.
Shorten PS_ON & GND, have an old HD Power connector connecting to VIN

I don't have one laying around but I can order a new Meanwell and try it .I am going to try the PSU I have on my Smoothieboard and if it works I highly doubt it's the PSU.
-
Set your multimeter to 10A scale and connect it in series with the Duet. If there is a short, it should jump (above 10A most likely). If the PSU is at fault you will see much less current than 10A.

Crynool to my disbelief it was the PSU.You my friend hit the nail on the head.I swapped out my psu for a friends and it is working just fine so I am going to order one today.Thanks for all the help

Glad you sorted it out
