[RE-wrenches] Bricked Radian?

[Maverick Brown]

Have him take the cover off of the inverter and plug the Matt directly into the inverter. Boot up. Listen for fans to spins up. Have him take a photo of the LED clusters located on the two visible boards of the inverter brains. Spare-204 is the board stack and those less tell it’s operational status. You can bring a Spare board set and likely get it back up and running. That alone make the Radian on of the best inverters ever made, the HUB concept aside.

When he shutters the place for the winter he turns the inverter off, sets AGS to OFF, and only the FX80 is left on. When he tried to turn the inverter on at the Mate 3S, it would not activate. Charger light is on and the Mate is showing charging happening. I instructed him to power cycle, which he did a few times, then plug and unplug the Mate cable at both the Mate and Hub….Nada. Any suggestions before I make a long expensive trek out there to do much the same? I do have extra cables, but I don’t keep an inventory of spare Outback parts as we no longer install their equipment.
