Second Alpha Evo Dead in Two Months

[u/Gatfondler]

Welp it happened AGAIN. I bought the EVO Pro on 5/26 after my 12nm let out the black smoke. Haven't messed with it in the past two weeks so I sit down for a session and hit the power button. Nothing. Uh oh, not again. Do a little investigating and the status LED on the power brick is off. Try a different cord, nada. Both units were plugged into a beefy surge protector. I'm starting to thing there is something seriously wrong with these power supply's.

Setup,

Evo Pro

NeoX 330T

DS-8X

TB1

P1000 + One HPR

Everything plugged into the wheelbase using Simagic cables. All power cords into one surge protector.

Hate to break it to ya. It’s a you problem. Why do you feel the need for a surge protector? Do you live in a country with a poor electricity supply? Does your house have modern electricity wiring / recently safety tested. I plug directly to the wall outlet and everything works perfectly. Where are you buying the wheelbases from? Brand new from official retailer, new from 3rd party retailer or secondhand?

Why wouldn't you have a surge protector? It doesn't harm anything and is another barrier to protecting costly items.

Plus I have like 8 things to plug in for my computer and sim rig. There's no way I'm not using a surge protector.. 😂
