Disassembling information
1. Use two “-” screwdrivers. Push screwdrivers in case cavities.

2. Rotate screwdriver and pull both case parts.

4 Disassembling information
3. Remove rubber bushing

4. Push back Plastic PCB holders and take out the board.

Routerboard does not power on
There no signs of any LED, LCD or buzzer activity

Find potential problem area

RouterBOARD does not turn on when one of the power is disconnected. Check Which voltage is
switched off, Power IN (10 – 28V), 3.3V or 5V.

5V

Power IN

GND

3.3V

6 Routerboard does not power on

If Power_IN Failed
1. No power on 10-28V input

Check for 10-28V output

on C27

Try to use different

PSU adapter
