January 6, 20188 yr comment_782355 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. Report
January 6, 20188 yr comment_782360 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.

January 6, 20188 yr Author comment_782362 I'll take pictures later, I appreciate any advice I can get I need to see if I have a meter anywhere or if they're in storage waiting on this move to finish. Report
January 7, 20188 yr comment_782404 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, 20188 yr by kevin gilmore Report

June 13, 20206 yr comment_828340 Hey Grawk Just seen this thread ....my ensemble psu has died too after a few years of taking its time to turn on. The links still work and one of the psu's is still available.I'm going to give it a go ....is your's still holding up? Dave Report
June 13, 20206 yr comment_828343 Hi Kevin I just tested the T2A black round fuse on the p.s.u. and I have continuity.So not sure if I should replace PSU or not? Appreciate any advice ? Dave Report

November 17, 20214 yr comment_869243 Hello! Any help where i can find a power supply? mine suddenly stopped turning on! thanks alot, Gilbert Report
November 19, 20214 yr comment_869397 @Gilmam - post the sticker from the power supply? I'm not sure if we're talking "brick" here or more complex. I could read above but I'm tired. Also, just because the unit isn't powering up doesn't mean the PS is dead. Do you have a multimeter? Report
November 19, 20214 yr Author comment_869408 24 volts 1.67 amps mounting holes 3.7 x 1.7 inches, it's a board. I forget what the connectors are. edit: found em, more expensive now, but not insane: http://www.nextwarehouse.com/item/?1689025_g10e&gclid=CjwKCAiAs92MBhAXEiwAXTi25wYeg3-De0RzhTG8f8pRAQGB18dchAF-y13a6_JsWNaoAy6TitamqxoCUJMQAvD_BwE Report
November 23, 20214 yr comment_869701 Just installed a new PSU, the unit didn’t power yet. I have a beeping sound coming out from the new PSU Report

Anyone any idea where to find a Power supply that would work? Kevin you still about? I'm ok with soldering & replacing the odd cap but this has burnt marks all over it so not sure if it's path I should go down etc but working out what supply I might need apart from the voltage I'm not sure what would be best. The second link at Mouser still works but it's 65w I presume as long as the pins are ok & it's 24v it should be good? Appreciate any advice.. Report
March 24, 20233 yr comment_909188 buy whatever you can find that is the right voltage and meets minimum current requirements. bonus if it fits the original holes. otherwise remove old studs, drill new holes etc.. Report
