My Kraken went all wacky this morning after a 1-2 minute power outage and I received a notification that a temp probe was low so I sent down and the Kraken wasn't running on 24V and was running in normal mode through backup battery (saw several powerheads that don't work in 12V mode flashing errors) and I have tried resetting whole system several times and plugging in Kraken PSU first with no luck.

Has anyone replaced the fuse in the PSU? I tried opening it up and got a panel off but was met with lots of glued down foam so I stopped. I just finished a nap before work tonight and I'm going to try and use a voltage meter on it to check power going in and out of the PSU.

Is this the same person with the issue on the facebook group?

Yes lol... I know it's a tad faster on that group but figured it was worth a shot here as well.

Ended up testing the PSU and had correct voltage in and out and then hooked it up and verified 24V was going into Kraken's board and it was and after a small click it started to work again...
 
You did have the battery disconnected when you did the power down reset? The only other thing I can think of is it was not powered down quite long enough for all the power to drain out of the power supply caps to get it to reset when powered back on and with the longer power down when you were checking the voltages allowed it to reset when powered back on.

That very well could be the case. I had done some tests by unplugging everything and didn't pay attention to how long I left it unplugged. I'll have to do more low-power tests on my next day off from work whenever that will be lol
