    Alpha 240 E boiler problem

    I got a new meter, both sensors DHW and CH show 5kr, the overheat sensor shows 0, should the system be switched on or off to take the measurement? What Volts feed the fan terminals, I dont think power is getting to it (which could be due to a sensor problem, I guess)

    No boot, no beeps, but all fans working...

    tried basic system 848A version 5 2 amd 462/socket A processors (it doesnt say on them what they are, but both have been taken from working systems) 400 mhz memory (have tried PC 2100 also)

    Alpha 240 E boiler problem

    Oh and it appears to be that there is no power to the fan when the CH and DHW are switched on and the red and amber lights are lit.

    No boot, no beeps, but all fans working...

    Of course I did that already, I think the processor is at fault, everything else is brand new!! ALthough the processor was taken from a working system, maybe it is not new enough for this motherboard. It says "Semperon ready", I used a MB that said "XP ready" and it woudlnt work with Win 98, so...

    Alpha 240 E boiler problem

    My meter may be faulty. When I touch the two probes together it registers 5kr, when I touch a piece of metal with both probes metal it shows 5kr. When I check the overheat sensor it shows 5 kr, but when I check the DHW sensor it shows a reading below 0kr??? I am sure touching the probes...

    No boot, no beeps, but all fans working...

    I hope someone out there can help. I have a home built PC, PcChips 848 MB (I know, but it is our 3rd PC and it was cheap). All the fans work; PSU, MB/case and on Video Card. I have tried 3 MB's, with combination of 2 video cards, 2 PSU's, 2 CPU's and different memory. As I said, I start it up...

    Alpha 240 E boiler problem

    I have got a multimeter, I do know how to use it, I followed the fault process from the manual, which lead to suggesting the air flow switch was faulty, replaced that but didnt make any difference (I replaced the tubes at the time of replacing the switch). Like I think I said before, at no point...

    Alpha 240 E boiler problem

    Ok, Checked all the switches I can see, including the main one described, they all are working correctly. Intermittently now it works, only on DHW, no CH at all. I think something is either stopping the fan from working (IE some kind of cut off) or maybe the main board is fault. I can hear the...

    Alpha 240 E boiler problem

    ok, the main system flow switch is fully extended. I agree it could be something to with flow though. FYI it is an original pump, and does have 3 settings, although by the sounds of it on the lowest setting it seems to be off, which is unusual for a grundfos pump. And the little white "reset"...

    Alpha 240 E boiler problem

    If you mean the diverter switch for DHW, then it seems to operate ok. I have had a development. I only get the problem when the selector is switched to CH AND HW, when I get it going if I leave in the HW only position it seems (at the moment) to work ok.

    Alpha 240 E boiler problem

    I have a very frustrating problem with my Alpha 240E boiler. Initially it will not fire (no HW or CH), both the red and orange neons are lit. Previous advice drove me to replace the air pressure switch. This proved fruitless, I still have the same problem. The strange thing is if I turn of then...
