D5 Next pump controller fuse

D5 Next pump controller fuse

Friday, August 6th 2021, 1:53am

When installing the pump, I didn’t have any SATA cables that hit the tight clearances needed to power it. So I got a bit creative. Unfortunately, a bit too creative and swapped the 5V and 12V lines!

The controller isn’t powering up at all now so I’m hoping I just blew a fuse. Any of you happen to know where that fuse might be?

Thanks!

I pulled it open this morning to take a look and can’t see either a fuse or anything that looks obviously blown. (Incredibly well designed enclosure by the way that I could do this while there was water in the system!) I guess my answer is that, it was probably the microcontroller that blew and I can’t just swap that without firmware, so, I need a whole new controller...

Actually they desperately need a fuse as they are extremely temperamental and easy to blow. I had one go during a PSU explosion and I had nothing wired Improper and I wasn't over pushing my PSU either just a POS from Thermaltake. Swapped it out for an even bigger be quiet dark power pro and ac did give me a new exchange controller as it wasn't my fault, but then again I did not swap 12v and 5v lines. That's umm yeah lol not good and I'm sure violates their warranty ! maybe you shouldn't have said that lol. Granted AC will probably still take it back but I wouldn't mention any of this to them!
