Eb8 Got Water Damage

[Kevin Tran]

Hey all, I got 2 eb8 that got damage. One have one outlet working and the other have two outlets working. My question for you is, is there an easy way to fix this? Thank

I think with water damage the most likely part to fail would probably be the triacs. Which ports did you lose? 4/8 use a relay for more current rating, other 6 ports use the triacs. Taking apart the EB8 isnt that hard.

For whatever reason that link double copies the address so here you go.

It is really hard to tell without opening it up, but there is a lot of circuts in there that could have fried with water damage. I doubt it was the triacs as only 6 are triac switches and 2 are relays and with most not working, that would include the relay switches. I would have to guess it is time to replace.

Yes this makes sense, i misread, I thought he only had a couple outlets not working not the opposite.

The damage could be quite minor, some corrosion on a couple circuits in the printed circuit, which could be easily fixed.

Thank guys, this is not my expertise. I will open it and see , if it just some corrosion than easy fix and if not I have to leave it as is
