Re: Weird PDB failure - No LEDs

Haven't seen that before, but it sounds like the "smart" circuitry in your PDP failed. This includes the CANbus, indicator lights, and current sensing. The rest of the PDP is just a normal high current fuse panel and distribution board so will continue to work regardless of the status of the rest of the electronics.

If you know you didn't abuse it in any way, you just could have had a random early failure. Bad solder joints or a defect in a component worked long enough to get through quality control but failed after a short time in use at your end.

Will be interesting to hear from anybody else who had a PDP give up on them.
