Prerequisites:
Machine is installed and placed in its operational location
Access to the smart side panel (requires No. 2 screwdriver)
The original Poursteady power supply is available
A safe electrical outlet is nearby
Main Process:
1. Open the Smart Side Panel
Use a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove:
8 side screws
2 top cap screws
Carefully lift off the side panel and set it aside to avoid scratching or damage.
2. Confirm No Power Condition
With the panel off, observe the main PCB:
If no lights are visible, the machine is currently not receiving power.
3. Connect the Power Supply
Locate the power supply that came with your Poursteady.
Confirm that:
All wires are securely connected
The outlet is working properly
Insert the barrel plug firmly into the power port on the main PCB board.
4. Verify Power Indicator Lights
Once connected, observe the internal board:
Main PCB power light (solid)
Technosoft board lights (usually 1–2 LEDs)
BeagleBone Black blue LED (indicates system boot)
If these lights are on, the subassembly has power and is operational.
Troubleshooting:
5. If the Poursteady Does Not Boot or Home
Check the SD card slot located on the internal board.
If the SD card is visible or protruding, it may have been dislodged during shipping.
Unplug the machine first before touching internal components.
6. Reseat the SD Card
Use your finger or a flat object to gently press the SD card in.
A small click will confirm it is seated correctly.
The card should sit flush with the board (not protruding).
Reconnect the power and wait 2–3 minutes for the boot sequence to begin:
Button lights will flash
The nozzle will move back and forth, then side to side
Success Confirmation:
All internal lights on the PCB are active
The nozzle completes a homing sequence (back/forward and side-to-side motion)
Button lights flash, indicating the machine is online and ready
The machine accepts recipes from my.poursteady.com
Escalation:
If the machine still does not power on or boot:
Confirm:
Power outlet is functioning
Correct power supply is used
SD card is fully seated
Initiate a live Intercom support session
Include a photo of the internal board showing light status
Confirm whether the SD card was reseated
Mention any signs of power failure (e.g., no lights at all)
