CCR1036 Power Supply

[magnavox]

@normis

If your seller provides no warranty, you can either replace the cap, like others posted above. To prolong the life of the cap, you can set the FAN mode to “redundant” which increases fan speed and brings temperature down by at least 3 degrees celsius. You can also mount the device in some other way to improve airflow.

How to set the FAN mode to “redundant” ?

Just today, dead one CCR 1036 after about 2 years in IDC…

My power supply died about 9 months ago and I still cannot find a replacement… thinking of building my own… just bought a new piece but MT should offer premium power supply replacements for sale here in 'Merica.

Has anyone the same problem with CCR1036-12G-4S? Or is just a CCR1036-8G-2S+ problem? Does they have the same PSU?

Yes, CCR1036-12G-4S failing. Unless I’m mistaken, both are single PSU devices. They should use the same power supply.

We’ve also had two or more CCR1036 power supply failures. The last one that failed has the green capacitors.

Has anyone found a source for a direct replacement power supply? Prefer for the replacement to drop in just as original power supply does.

Thanks,

Brad

Bad caps in a power supply are repairable. When you cannot do it yourself, it should be possible to find a repairshop that
can do it for you. That would probably be quicker and cheaper than hunting down the same power supply.

[BelWave]

I’m confident in my soldering abilities to replace caps etc, but sometimes time runs short and simply ordering a complete drop in replacement and moving onto the next project is more enticing!

I’m betting mouser.com has a supply that will work, but want one that drops right in place without modifications.

Guess I’ll order the caps in case I never find the replacement supply.

MikroTik; Can you provide a link to where a replacement supply can be purchased?

Thanks,

Brad

Hello
Just to understand correctly:

the “old” CCR1036 (all versions) had black capacitors.
The “revised” CCR1036 (all versiones) have green capacitors.

What about the “new” 1036 ? has not been announced yet, right?

How can I know if the CCR I am about to buy new, is the old or the revised one? Do they have any markings, or serials?

[pe1chl]

There is no “new model” or “new type”, it is just the changes between production runs that you find in all equipment.
Probably it is possible to derive it from the serial number, but that kind of information usually isn’t public.
However when you buy from a distributor with normal stock and turnover you would usually get the latest models all the time.
(they don’t stock these things for a year)

[Maggiore81]

Thank you very much.
So we assume that if I buy tomorrow one CCR1036 I can get the “revised” version with green caps, and the connector for the 2nd PSU.

The main problem of these PSUs is the high load for CCR1036 and high temperature in result. You can see in pictures in this theme that green capacitors swells up same as black. I changed these capacitors to low ESR aluminum polymer capacitors such as 397AVG035MGBJ. They works long time and not swells.

I will go on 1072 then

Hi All

The current PSU condition is like this

If I replace with another brand with 24v 2.5a power can work well.?

Because I have trouble finding the capacitor.

Thanks,

Capacitors are the two black cylindric elements with metal-exposed tops. The one farther from wires (right one on first attached photo) looks suspiciously bloated. If you can find somebody with soldering skills, have both of them replaced with new ones of same capacity.

Hi Mr mkx.

Thanks.


SOLVED

[Murmaider]

Is this PSU issue still a problem when buying new CCR-1036 units or has this now been resolved?

Solved in new unit, different PSU whit better capacitors.

[rburkat]

Just had one of our CCR1036-12G-4S start rebooting and having trouble starting up. It’s a number of years old and it’s the first issue we have seen. We had a standby CCR1036-12G-4S just in case.
Now without a load it seems to be running so I’m able to compare the voltage that is shown by each router. Perhaps this is a way one can detect a failing unit if the voltage is dropping.

Notice the bad router on the left has a voltage of 13.9V compared to the good router on the right of 24.2V

If I just replace the power supply will the bad router be back to 100%? Could the failing power supply have damaged the router board?

[pe1chl]

It will be fine when you repair or replace the power supply.
(just the electrolytic caps need to be replaced)

[chechito]

looks like a new revision of ccr1036 is coming soon

with dual PSU
