[solved] Rambo HeatBed Mosfet defect?
July 15, 2018 05:25AM
Hello,

From one day to another my heatbed connected to my Rambo 1.0e stopped working.

What I tested at the beginning:
- Fuse: ok
- PowerSupply: ok
- Heatbed: ok
- visual inspection of the Rambo: ok

But: LED at heatbed does not light up. Only in the moment of switching on, there is a tiny flash.

So I disconnected the heatbed and figured out the following:
When switching on, the headbed LED flashes shortly (~0.5 seconds) with full brightness (brighter than with connected heatbed) and continues to glow dimmed.
I've attached a picture where you can see that.
I measured the output voltage (still without load) with different heatbed input voltages:
12V: 2.0V
16V: 2.2V
24V: 2.5V

Any ideas what I can try as well/what might be defect?

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Markus

It's always the same...few minutes after detaild description...failure found!

The power connector (X33) was defect! Soldered the cables now directly to the Rambo.

Thanks for listening winking smiley
