From the original Synthetos forum (2011–2025)
In the middle of a run - very small part - it just died. LEDs turned off, fan still running. I can connect CoolTerm, but no response. The little coil near the reset button is HOT to the touch. Resetting does nothing.
I guess there's really nothing I can do....?
The fan runs from it's own dc regulator.
Other components run from a cascade of regulators at various voltages.
The hot inductor is at the the top of that cascade - some device failed and the regulator is delivering too much current into a short.
Not much you can practically do...
