I have a dolphin cleaner that is not working. The power supply voltage drops from 37 VDC to about 4 VDC when the cleaner is plugged in. It previously had a severed power cable that was repaired. I saw a charred 2 watt resistor on the power supply circuit board that I replaced with a 0.1 resistor, but it still drops the voltage when the cleaner is plugged in. Thoughts? Cleaner or power supply? Schematic available? Thank you,

The new PCB you purchased should take care of it. If you need assistance connecting the new part or the unit continues to give you trouble please contact us directly or add a comment here.
PCB stands for 'printed circuit board'. It is the green board that the recepticle wires trace back to. It is feed by two or three wires coming over from the bridge rectifier inside the power supply.PCB stands for 'printed circuit board'. It is the green board that the recepticle wires trace back to.

+3.3 VDC. ATX V2.3 / EPS12V V2.92 both define that the PSU has to use remote sensing to compensate cable drops on the 3.3V line. Because of this there is an additional brown cable crimped together with the orange cable either to pin 13 (ATX) or pin 1 (EPS12V).

/PSON activated by pressing and releasing the power button while the power supply is in standby mode. Activating /PSON connects the power supply's /PSON input to ground, thereby switching the power supply to full-on condition.
A common problem, especially with 'newer' Maytronics Dolphin brand pool cleaners is that you put the unit in the pool, or even try to turn it on after a cleaning cycle while it is still in the pool, and to that point it has worked fine. You turn the power supply on and nothing happens. You turn it off and back on and still nothing. You leave it, even over night, same thing. What do you do?
While I cannot tell you why it does this (we have a theory but can not confirm it) what usually works is to follow these steps...
1) Unplug everything. Unplug the power supply from the outlet and the Dolphin from the power supply.
2) Let the whole thing sit a couple of minutes (we want to allow any capacitors to discharge).
3) Be sure the Dolphin is out of the water and sitting upside-down on a level surface (Tracks pointing skyward).
4) Reconnect the Dolphin to the power supply and the power supply to the outlet.
5) With the Dolphin still out of the water, perform a self-test. Simply turn on the Dolphin. Within about 15 seconds it should begin to move. The tracks will spin in both directions with and without the impeller motor running at the same time. It is not unusual for the tracks to rotate at different speeds during this test. The test will last for 30 - 45 seconds or so. If it goes on indefinitely, turn it off and contact us for further direction.
6) Assuming the unit has now worked to this point, you should be able to put it back in the water and it will return to normal operation from this point on.
If it still won't run; it runs a few moments and quits the self-test; or runs continuously, contact us thru the Dolphin service form along the bottom of our home page at www.arrowpools.net.
Description:Power supply remote signal not connected The control signal cable for the ON/OFF control of the 24/38-VDC output is disconnected. The signal wire grounded inside the power supply unit has been pulled up by the IP PCB to detect the level.
Code: 003 S97
Description:38-VDC power supply voltage error A voltage drop is detected when a voltage drop is sensed by the IP PCB based on the signal resulting from dividing the 38-VDC resistance inside the power supply unit. The detection level is approximately 18 VDC. Voltage polling is conducted at 100-ms intervals by the IP-CPU. An error is detected when a voltage drop is sensed 10 times in succession (approx. 1 sec). No detection is performed when the interlock SW is open.
Code: 004 S97
Description:24-VDC power supply voltage error A voltage drop is detected when a voltage drop is sensed by the IP PCB based on the signal resulting from dividing the 24-VDC resistance inside the power supply unit. The detection level is approximately 11 VDC. Voltage polling is conducted at 100-ms intervals by the IP-CPU. An error is detected when a voltage drop is sensed 10 times in succession (approx. 1 sec). No detection is performed when the interlock SW is open.
Code: 006 S97
Description:3.3-VDC power supply voltage error A voltage drop is detected when a voltage drop is sensed in the 3.3-VDC power supply on the MIP side of the IP PCB. Voltage polling is conducted at 100-ms intervals by the IP-CPU. An error is detected when a voltage drop is sensed 10 times in succession (approx. 1 sec).
Code: 007 S97
Description:1.8-VDC power supply voltage error A voltage drop is detected when a voltage drop is sensed in the 1.8-VDC power supply on the MIP side of the IP PCB. Voltage polling is conducted at 100-ms intervals by the IP-CPU. An error is detected when a voltage drop is sensed 10 times in succession (approx. 1 sec).
Code: 008 S96
Description:Control panel not connected The absence of the control panel unit to be connected to the MC PCB is detected. Since this configuration lacks this panel, this error indication will not be issued under normal operating circumstances.
Code: 009 S96
Description:Print counter not connected The absence of a print counter is detected.
Code: 011 S96
Description:CIS PCB not connected The connection of the CIS PCB cannot be confirmed.

/PSON activated by pressing and releasing the power button while the power supply is in standby mode. Activating /PSON connects the power supply's /PSON input to ground, thereby switching the power supply to full-on condition. 18 AWG is recommended for all wires except pin 11, which should be 22 AWG. For 300W configurations 16 AWG is recommended. There are several ATX variants. Hope this helps. If this helps you resolve your problem, please consider giving me a rating of 4.It will help me as well. Thank you.
When you have this problem on this PC, do not replace the power supply or the motherboard until you have first tried pulling out the video card. When the video card fails it can cause the x1700 to not power up. Pull the video card and see if it will power up without it.
For warranty and non-warranty repair service contact us using the dolphin service form at www.arrowpools.net or you can try the manufacturer at www.maytronicsus.com.
You'll need a replacement board. You'll need model and serial numbers off of the cleaner itslef to help identify which power supply and therefore what PCB is needed to replace yours. Try contacting our service center at www.arrowmotor.net and click the contact button in the upper right corner.
what is PCB? Thanks
I've just had to get someone to come do some pool repair in Gilbert AZ and they did a great job.
