Have you verified the voltages coming from that power supply as well? It's just weird the base wouldn't function as well. Thats kinda the end of my " help" without actually physically looking at it. If both power supplies function correctly, the fuses are fine, then I'd start with the mainboard, I don't see why the base wouldn't function without the printer functioning, but It's possible. Yeah, it is weird thank you for your help. I'll start testing the aftermarket supply for voltage. I'll post later on with the results. Maybe the wiring is messed up, as far as the base. Does that run on a 12 V or 24 off the afermarket switch ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ycramie13 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Well After testing the aftermarket power supply these are my readings. L and N wires are giving me these output Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ycramie13 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 while the 24V, 12v and 5v are giving me the same outputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson4 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Depending on where you live, the power going into this power supply should match what comes out of L and N, in AC voltage from your wall. Then, the rest should match the corresponding readings listed on the power supply in DC voltage. If all of them are the same, and the input is correct, I'd assume to replace it. I have never used an analog meter, but it looks like your maybe getting around 9V out of all of them, which- obviously isn't right. personally, I would document very well the location of all the wires, then disconnect the power supply and bench test it with nothing hooked to it, Or you could just replace it. When a power supply goes, sometimes it takes other electronics with it, especially if its putting out a solid voltage across all the terminals going above/below the attached boards requirements. However, this shouldn't affect the Epson board from functioning if it is indeed receiving the correct voltage, unless a short resides somewhere. Good luck!

ycramie13 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Yeah, I already order the power supply, gotta wait till i get it though cause its coming from china. It is an arcade power supply. looked everywhere for it here in the states with no luck. I will be ordering the Led driver as well as it seems like there is no power going to the board . Gotta say that i have learned a lot about the equipment then i ever thought i would. In my mind it was going to be Plug and Play lol. Thanks again for the knowledge.

I ordered it. I guess i didn't look hard enough. I was looking for the Original and got closed minded.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ycramie13 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 I also ordered the led driver. hopefully these parts will let me make some head way on the lack of power issue. hopefully these one is the correct one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Power-Supply-3W-10W-20W-30W-50W-100W-Constant-Current-COB-Chip-LED-Driver/122480543106?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=422931940360&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 I'll post later on the result when i get the parts.

It looks like it should work, that base shouldn't have very heavy power requirements. I hope you get it figured out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, got the new parts today, and sad to say that nothing changed. replaced the arcade switch, motherboard and main board. No power to any of the components. I'm a bit stuck due to my minimal knowledge of electronics. However i did inspect the setting switches inside the printer and found them to be burnt out i'm assuming that that would explain the no power going to the base and the Screen. see attachments. Now the big issue will be to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
