Power issue with Uniti Nova

Hi everyone, newbie here

just bought another second hand Uniti Nova and it’s not powering up, tested the two fuses at power socket but nothing, no lights, no gentle click…wondered if anyone had power issues with a Nova/ Star/ Atom previously ?

As you just bought the Nova, have you contacted the vendor?

Maybe the equipment fuse has blown. I’m not sure whether you checked that. It’s next to the mains socket on the back of the unit and there should be a spare fuse in there too in addition to the fuse in the 13 amp plug of course.

If it’s not a fuse then the Nova is faulty and you need to talk to the seller.

Yes, bought ex Germany to Ireland, vendor ‘says’ it was working 100% and based on the communications I’m tending to believe him, I may yet return but if its a simple fix may just go with it.

Fresh unit, case is as new condition, expensive paperweight…

Yes first thing I checked, have another Nova, Stars & Atom etc so familiar but checking if theres anything obvious I might have missed

It is just possible that there is a fault in the power cable, so if you haven’t tried it, I suggest you take a known good power cable and use that in place of the one that came with the Nova, especially as the German owner may never have used the UK/Ireland plugged lead.

Thanks, yes phase tested the cable and tried with the powerline lite cable that came with my own Nova
