Duet 2 Wifi power problem
-
Hi, this is my first post on the forum as I have always managed to sort out my problems reading the posts. But not this time.
I have an Anycubic kossel with Duet 2 Wifi (v1.04c) bought in Nov 19 + Duex 5. Power is provided by a 600w ATX power supply providing separate 5v and 12v using the PS on pin.
The printer has worked well for 7-8 months but I had a problem with it today. The printer initially turns on with 5v and the web server comes up fine.
As soon as I press the ATX On button, everything goes off.
To me it looks like the board has a short as the voltage drops when ATX is enabled and a message saying Vin has dropped briefly pops up.
I can smell that something has overheated but there is no signs anything has burnt out.
I have tried with all 3 fuses removed and only the positive wire and this still happens.
Is there an obvious component I can replace that could fix this or is it time for a new board?Thanks in advance

hmm, have you tested the ATX PSU wihtout the Duet connected to it?
-
Good call bearer.
I have an atx tester plugged in and everything is reading normal.
I may have to go digging around for an old power supply to see if that fixes it. If not I may have to order a new one.
I'll keep you posted. -
Not sure I understood that post, the ATX PSU you were using is OK or not OK when you just connect the green PS_ON wire to ground on the PSU?
-
The power supply has voltages that are all correct 5v,12v etc.
I have tried another atx power supply and unfortunately get exactly the same results. All works fine until I press the ATX Power On. The voltage drops and everything on the 5v turns off. If I press ATX Power Off quick enough the 5v carries on working. The board looks to be shorting out the 12v rail on the PSU. Something must have blown. -

Something must have blown.
yeah, just didn't make sense it keept doing it without the fuses in place.
if you're inclined you can find the schematics here https://github.com/T3P3/Duet/tree/master/Duet2/Duet2v1.04
editL the logical thing might be the wires for Vin are shorted; check if there is a single loose strand or something?

No the wires are fine.
I've just wired it as a normal 12v psu and put the jumper for 5v back to int.
Everything works fine. The motors, heaters, fans etc. Looks like the problem is with the Ext 5v/PS on connector.
From this I looked at the schematics and the PS on circuit goes through TR7.
It took some finding as it is tiny but I have found it and it is burnt out.
I have another Duet Wifi that doesn't use PS on so I can swap them over.
Thanks for your help with this.
