NathanL Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Hi Everyone. I also have a Skyking 10000W which is battling to start. When I apply the battery power, the LCD lights up and gives you all the info and the inverter LED starts flashing but I get no output voltage. Every 20 or 30 seconds or so you hear the transformer buzz and the fans start spinning for 2 or 3 seconds and the it dies again. Testing the output with my multi-meter, when this happens the output voltage rises to about 200V and then goes dead. Now I have tested all the components on the inverter board and everything tests okay. Long story short, I eventually replaced every single IC on the DC / Control board. Still the unit does the same thing. The only component I cannot replace is the main programmed IC as I don't know how to do that. I would just try to organize a new board, but nobody from skykingsolar.co.za answers their phone or answers their emails. So I'm stuck. Any pointers to where to go from here?

vdevenj Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 hi did you get a new board, and where did you get it from? and cost thanks Quote
NathanL Posted October 24, 2020 Author Posted October 24, 2020 Hi, nope sorry, the inverter is still lying here in the corner not working. I'm pretty sure it's a firmware issue. I need to find another unit like this and copy the firmware and see if that will work. The support for the Skyking is non existent in SA it seems. Quote

I have had some dealings with the manufacturers in China. I was looking for a replacement fan and they couldn’t help, but offered advice on where to get one locally.
