Has anyone had any experience troubleshooting issues with the power supply in these Sonnet boxes? I have the Breakaway Box 550 and when I plug it in now it just clicks and the power light flashes for a second then it won't do anything until I flip the power switch on and off again. It won't start up, and is not recognized at all by Mac OS.
I tested my RX580 in a PC and it still works fine, and I have tried hooking two different standard ATX power supplies up to it for testing but when I do that the fan in the PSU just spins up for a second then shuts off and does nothing. The power light does not even flash like it does with the stock PSU. I can't find any mention of anyone else having this issue with theirs, naturally mine is out of warranty...

Mine does something similar after a power outage. I have to leave it unplugged for like 5 minutes or so before it will work again.
