Inverter No Longer Working

deweyzeph said:
Before you do anything, like opening it up, trip the DC breakers to the batteries and disconnect the unit from the AC supply before you kill yourself or start a fire. Then open it up and take a look around and see if there's anything obvious wrong, like a burnt-out fuse or loose connection.

Where is the fun in that?
 
Mosfets are out and when the mosfets blast due to overheating it makes that noise

Did you run anything important from it? Did this thing exceed the power that thing can supply? Is the thing you ran from it still working? Does your inverter have air vents? Did you cover it with tape?
Can you smell the magic smoke? Did you see magic smoke come out? Once it's out, you can't put it back in again.
If there was smoke and the sound that came from it sounded like a bang, then my professional opinion is that it wont work anymore.

Router, 2 desktops and a laptop.
 
If the fuses are ok, maybe it's a blown MOSFET.
They get pretty hot and without adequate cooling, they explode.
IE Below
You can replace them if the board is not damaged.

Probably just a fuse that needs to be replaced or something causing a short.

Yes 95% chance easy to fix.

If under warranty return it. If bought used, get it fixed at your local Appliance, Audio, Visual Repair Shop.

This guy didn't even remove the protective plastic wrapping and you okes want him to fiddle with MOSFETS, examine capacitors, and look at fuses....

Wrapping or not, if you overloaded it, your Warranty has gone bye bye.
You cant cover for human error.

And like I said only look if you know you overloaded. If not take it back.

ANC ideology killed Nashua?

I honestly don't know why the ANC ideology would kill them. All I know is that they used to be very big back in the day, billboards everywhere and they even sponsored sports, then they just seemed to have disappeared, no idea what happened

Surely you must have your own ideas what could have happened?
