Just finish assembly and no power on MK3 printer

I create this post regarding a huge problem that I'm facing regarding the PRUSA MK3 PRINTER.

I finish the assembly of the printer and start the calibration process with all the expectation. I plug my printer (It take me a long time to do the assembly ), I start the machine and nothing happens. No leds on, no info on the LCD, I only hears an almost imperceptible sound on the power supply.

What I'm doing wrong?
I forgot to do something?
Is there a solution?
It was very difficult for me to buy the printer, and import it from PRUSA COMPANY to Colombia, South America and now facing this problem.

I'm so frustrated about this issue.

Please help me.

Regards.

Re: Just finish assembly and no power on MK3 printer

Mario, not knowing where you are in the world do you use 220 volts or 110? There have been several issues with power supplies using 110, but I haven't heard of any using 220.
Double check all of your electric leads at the bottom of the Einsy RAMBo board. Make sure all Red/Positive wires are on the left of each pair. If you are still having problems contact the online CHAT support.

If you do use 110 volts do a search for "power supply" failure. It seems there are issues with the MK3 and 110v, but not everyone. I have two MK3s and no problems. I am using a heavy duty UPS, but I don't know if that helps with an affected PS.
