Troubleshooting No Power To Your Hydropixel

Updated over a month ago

1. Verify the Power Source

  • Check the power outlet.

    • Plug in a different device (e.g., a phone charger, lamp) to see if the outlet is working.

    • If the outlet isn’t working, try a different one or reset your home’s breaker if necessary.

  • Inspect the power cord.

    • Ensure the cord is firmly connected to the Hydropixel’s power inlet.

    • Look for signs of damage (fraying, cuts, or loose connections). If the cord is damaged, discontinue use and contact support for a replacement.

    • If possible, locate a replacement cable and swap with existing power cable.

  • Still no beep? Move to step 2.

2. Verify screen buttons work

  • Press the buttons on the screen.

    • See if the buttons light up and flash. Does the screen not turn the machine on and off?

    • This indicates a touchscreen issue; please contact the Aquaria team at this point

  • If the buttons do not light up, move to step 3

3. Check whether or not power cord is plugged in correctly and check fuse.

  • See image below to locate fuse.

  • Unplug power cable, and use leverage with a small screwdriver to pry out the fuse.

  • Is the fuse burnt out?

    • It needs to be replaced; please contact the Aquaria team at this point

  • Fuse appears normal? Move to Step 4.

4. Open the side door

  • Check whether indicator lights on the main control panel are on (top left highlighted item in screenshot)

  • If the light is on, check to see if terminals on the board are loose or disconnected.

    • Check to see if white wires (bottom right highlighted in the image) are loose or disconnected

  • If light is off, check whether the light is on in Step 5.

5. Check to see if internal power switch is on.

  • See image below to locate.

  • If the light is on, proceed to Step 6.

  • If the light does not come on, it indicates the power supply is damaged. Please ensure you have completed Step 1.

    • If Step 1 does not/ did not resolve, this indicates you need to replace the fuse. Please contact the Aquaria team at this point.

6. Check the two fuses on the high voltage board.

  • See image below to locate.

    • If a fuse or the fuses appear burnt out, they need to be replaced.

  • If the fuses appear fine, check to see if there is any other damage to the fuse tubes.

    • If any damage or the fuses appear to be burnt out, please contact the Aquaria team at this point.

  • If there is no damage, move to Step 7.

7. Check the red, black and blue wires in the yellow box on the high-voltage board.

  • See image for reference.

  • If it is loose, pull out the plug and tighten it with pliers and then insert back into place. The plug needs to be checked and then powered on.

  • Use a multimeter to measure the voltage between the red and blue wires.

    • Voltage should read between 110VAC-120VAC
