For nothing , happy to help !

any news?

btw , use a new capacitor , only if electrician have the possibility to measure the capacity use old one! is cheap...

please , ask your electrician to use non polarized capacitor 0.47 micro farad( this value is compulsory) minimum 300vac voltage! if use bigger capacity can burn the board , if is less you can have same problem as now! good luck

change the capacitor and will work !

very easy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUp6x9dvZOA

I measured the capacities of the 2 capacitors, of the 2 solic 200, the normal capacity( marked on the capacitor housing) is 470 nf (0,47 uf) , I got 198 nf for one and 220 nf for the second one (as I said, I have 2 solic 200)! I don't think it's about saving money, I paid for a quality capacitor (epcos) under 1 euro .Also 310vac is ok I think the quality of the capacitors used is poor or they have an old production date In any case, it is not very important, the important thing is that the problem can be solved cheaply. It is a capacitor that can be bought without problems from a local store, specialized in electronic components

Hello everyone, I bought a Solic 200 device in the summer of 2020, in the spring of 2021 it started to malfunction, I contacted the company and was asked to send the device for repairs, which I refused given that I live in Romania and the costs of transport and customs they would have been exorbitant compared to the price of the device! The company offered to sell me a new product at a discounted price of £100, which I accepted but about 2 weeks ago and the latter started to have the same problem as the first one, it restarts continuously until the moment when only the first LED lights up in orange, both red and green LEDs work at the same time. I considered that it is not normal to pay for a new one, given that the operating time is short and I investigated what the problem is, having enough knowledge of electronics to find the problem I found a fixed capacitor, C1, which is right next to the plug of the current transformer, with half the value of the normal one . This fixed capacitor has the role of lowering the mains voltage to a value necessary to power the device's control electronics, its value being too low, the supply voltage is too low and the device does not work I changed this capacitor and everything returned to normal I am attaching a video with the initial behavior and a photo with the respective capacitor 27dc8aff-3f00-489a-b210-eeb4999716f9.mp4
