I think their is a battery in these you have to change out. I am going to check to see how much a battery is vs buying a new ups.

My 550 worked fine when I had my power drop but my 250 crashed so its possible that yours doesn't either

sounds like you may have to send it back, but you can at least plug in another power supply, or test the units power supply on another 5 volt system, just to see what is broken. I have mine plugged into one of the USB ports on my TV, that way it powers off with the TV so I don't see a power light, it must be on the power supply it self. maybe moving it to another outlet might help to isolate the problem, just in case it was the outlet, saving you the trouble of sending it back. Good Luck!

I am in agreement with Thomas. I have been fortunate I guess, mine comes on every time. I would verify your power connection and cable to ensure it is not faulty. The power input is just a mini-usb which can be an easy and cheap replacement.

This hasn't happened to me, maybe your power or negative source came loose. Check those connections .

This is not normal. I'm on my 4th V789 and one of mine will momentarily lose some power but does not just cut off. I would look into returning your item, it sounds defective.

The one I had was a 240W. I now longer have it, went with a different brand laptop, but I remember it because my first remark was that I would be able to upgrade it in the future.

I would think so you are under the maximum wattage. its alot of power so i would recommend that you have proper air flow to it to ensure a longer component life along with safty reasons.

I have only installed to 500 watts or more. Probably not enough power from PSU!

Howdy Bp: 24 months, their option as to whst to do. They are not easy to delwith. I had a 2000W go bad (my ault) and my authorized repair station (Colordo Springs did not want to work on it) He told me tht these cheap units are basicall;y a throw away item. So, beware. HOWEVER, I have both the 1000W and the 2000W and they run 24/7. At the current price, if one goes bad, I'll just buy a new one. Hope this helps.BTW their landline # is 1.800.670.0707customerservice@xantrex.com

I am not sure how long they work maybe there was a surge in power. That caused it to not work so well anymore. might be helpful to put it on a surge the next time you get one.

Yes, i have a 500+ power supply inside this puppy as we speak. It was extremely tricky and seemed impossible for me to get my power supply in so i like ziptied it and that caused it to bluescreen, you need to make sure you get it in correctly and screw it in properly, though i didnt know how until i had a repair guy check it out.

As MSGroves pointed out, each switch is meant to control power flow to each block of 9 connections. It would seem that in the unit you received the switches are not working and power is stuck in the "on" position. As S. Howe pointed out, the low voltage, 12V, is too low to be a safety concern.If you purchased it recently and you are still within the allowed replacement period, you may want to have it replaced for one that functions as it is supposed to but, not for any safety concerns.

It looks as though you got a device that went through QA only on paper. I personally would take a pic and send it off to the manufacturer.However, if you want to save a lot of time put a continuity test and just use it as it is. It's ac current so it really shouldn't matter.

That has never happened to me, so I can't answer specifically. However, if I unplug it, it must be reset again, so I assume the same would be true of a power failure.

Mind didn't work so well, so I switched to a Power Brite 6000w with 12,000 watt surge, it was worth the extra price I did keep my Go Power as a back-up but haven't used it since I replaced it.
