Just got done fixing the all too common issue with the 12v power supply going out on my EB832. Super simple if you have a little soldering skill. However I probably should have tried to source a better power supply than the ones all over amazon. Will see how long this last.

Just FWIW. if one is in the warranty period - I would not do this. However - I find the EBB completely unusable. Of course when someone finds a problem - quickly - and can recover from it all good - in my case - Adios $4000

Yes, absolutely do not do this if it's still under warranty or if you're not comfortable with it as it can be a fire risk if done incorrectly.
It should be criminal for them to cheap out on the internal parts for what they're charging for these systems.
