grawk 7,892 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 It happened finally. Something killed the power supply on my apogee ensemble. No scorch marks visible, no fuse i can find, it just doesn't power up anymore. I've emailed apogee, but they stopped supporting these a few years ago. I just don't have thunderbolt on my mac pro, and really don't want to go through all that. So I'm torn between replacing it with another one, finding someone to repair it, or getting a metric halo.

kevin gilmore 1,417 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 has to be a $25 switcher in there. those things die all the time. Really easy to replace. pics and we should be able to find a replacement. there actually is a fuse on the power supply, looks like a resistor, and if its blown, likely the rest of it is toast, but I have been known to fix them if necessary.

kevin gilmore 1,417 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) the T2A round black thing is the fuse, you can check continuity. Looking for exact replacement now 24 volts 1.67 amps mounting holes 3.7 x 1.7 inches made in 2005, so its definitely time to replace this may or may not fit the mounting holes https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Delta-Electronics/MDS-065APS24-BA/?qs=%2fha2pyFaduirkRCGmuVLPGG%2b%2b1Owb2DkcY1eufxPxz01f8scL9gSWw%3d%3d this seems the exact item but its end of life, so maybe buy 2 https://www.mouser.com/productdetail/murata-power-solutions/mvad040-24?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsPs3th5F8koHWdVLP2qW6GCxvvDr00QbM%3D Edited January 7, 2018 by kevin gilmore Quote Link to post Share on other sites

grawk 7,892 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 the holes were slightly off, but close enough, and it solved the problem. You rock, thanks! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
