Dead Burly Enclosure

[Holy Zoo]

I purchased a Burly 2 drive enclosure in August 2004. I provided my own drives. Yesterday it went down - the fan isn't running, drives aren't spinning, and the front green light is just blinking about once a second when I power on.

I'm guessing that the power supply has blown.

MacGurus, thoughts?

Any storms lately? UPS on your system?

No storms recently. I have no power conditioner on the drive. So, it's possible a spike could have harmed it, yes. Although nothing else in my studio is down, all is fine. So, question now, after the fact, is what is wrong with the enclosure, and how do I fix it/get it fixed.

Thanks,

steev,

The Burly enclosures are warranted for one year. I would contact support@macgurus.com and explain the problem as you did here and the fact that everything else in your studio is working. I don't recall if there is a fuse outside of the 2-bay PS either on the back or inside the Burly. I'm guessing not. Probably circuitry inside the PS and I would leave that alone. Let us know here what needed to be fixed. k

I sent an email through the website form, but no reply. I've sent an email to the email address you suggested, and I'll wait for reply and work with tech support on this. I'll post what the problem and solution was when I get it resolved.

Thanks!

Sorry I have been out of touch. Brian and I drove 18 hours yesterday and are in Idaho today where we are moving Macgurus' support and admin facilities. I answered your email. Sent an RMA and you should be set.

Sure sounds like a gone bad power supply. Doesn't happen very often. We'll get you up and running though.
