Ionic Pro Turbo Taken Apart!! Part 1/2

this is a response to requests from a few people asking on how to actually take it apart. i hope this helps show a bit more detail on that and also what sorts of protection that it has to help people not think there is a blown fuse or something.

The thing that pushes up we should text wire breakage is the high voltage tripler on the bottom. Do not snip no wires. If that wire comes loose and it does not kill the board then high voltage will be laying across the base inside the unit. Can also sort out to the ground. This is kind of scary

Oh Gees. I didn't realize people were interested in these Ionic Pro Turbos. Use to look for the Sharper Image air purifiers but I passed these by.

Oh no! You didn't tell me to unplug it until five minutes into the video! lol.

It looks like you're learning as you go. Don't quit your day job.

Damn! I have the older model and I have had that thing apart about 6 times and sometimes it works and mostly not, Lastnight I dug it out of the basement and plugged it in and it worked for 5 seconds, then the clean light came on and then nothing, no led's or anything. It is very clean so must be a safety switch. That flyback is scarey, this thing must run on a lot of voltage that I do not want to touch. Mine is the non-turbo. I loved that thing! Gotta fix it.

Top boards only 12 volts already tested it. It's a pwm controller

[Viktoryk]

Hmmmm, a wire tension sensor. Maybe unplug it while doing this? I will be an expert on these things. Basically, something is cutting the power from mine.
