WS-5000 outdoor array failure, repairable?
« on: September 30, 2024, 03:49:34 PM »
I haven't gotten it down off the roof yet, "been too hot", but was wondering if anyone has successfully repaired a dead array or found the common cause for failure. Mine went kaput after a tad over 2yrs. TERRIBLE reliability IMHO.
I've seen several reviews that mention the same problem with the array dying at around the 2yr mark.
Thanks for any suggestions.

No on batteries, since I've not gotten it off the roof.
No data of any sorts is being transmitted.

nothing more can be advised before you can replace the batteries.
We have to see what, if anything, happens when you replace the batteries.
