XTrend ET9500 not starting up

**KevB** · 14-07-17, 16:06

Hi,

I have just come off holiday and my ET9500 won't start up. When I power on I can hear the hard disc start and the blue light flashes about 5 times then nothing.

Can anyone help please .......

No help but mine doing exactly same this morning. Have you managed to find a solution?

**weesilver** · 21-07-17, 11:39

Had a look around and found the issue with the PSU.
If you check the capacitors the will have blown.
I found two that were faulty.1.jpg 2.jpg
Got them both from eBay for a couple of quid.
Hope this helps

So i think i have a similar problem with my xtrend 10000. It does not start. I hear a clicking sound when i turn the switch. But i can not tell if i have a blown capacitor

Look at it - the end will be bulging. Or you could post a close-up photo of the psu if not sure

OK I'll definitely post a close up picture. I have a good camera phone. Just hope it doesn't reduce the quality when I upload it

By the way don't stick your fingers in if you are not sure what you are doing - capacitors will hold charge even with the power off.

**joysleep1** · 09-09-17, 13:40

Here you guys

Anything look dodgy to you?

**Ou-Tannu** · 11-09-17, 17:15

Hum.. My ET9500 also died.. only Flashing the blue led, and able to draw somepower from the usb ports..
So after searching around i took a look on the PSU board..
but the caps seems to be "ok" as in.. there not bulging. i know, no warranty that there actually good..

so lets order some new caps :-)

**Ou-Tannu** · 20-09-17, 13:45

So, Replaced my 3 yellow caps. and it fired up without any problems.

I did replace the 4700uF 10V with a 4700uF 16.. just to be sure :-)
