EFI Vutek GS3250 LX Pro Serial Server no power

Morning all you Vutek pros out there, I'm having an issue with my serial server not getting power, the tech seams to think that the unit is dead, EFI is asking 6500$ for what I see is basically a hub or switch ... that I can get on EBAY for 100$... So my question is this, is this part special ? special firmware or special programming in it ?


Kindest Regards y'all !

 

Hey guys, thanks for all the help.

@ netsol, first thing I did was check the voltage, and it was good.
Someone reached out to me and sold me a genuine EFI part at a steep discount, for a similar printer they don't have anymore, so I managed to get back up and running.

@ WYLDGFI thanks for the info, I will definitely keep there contacts on hand.

FYI: I don't think this part is "proprietary", but in it self is a special part from that part manufacturer, after a bit more research I fond out that the MEI appellation for the part stands for Multiple Electrical Interface and that the Print Console programs it at the first start, So as long that I used a part that was MEI in that same family bracket, my thinking was that its was ok. Guess I will never have find out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
