Unit repeatedly power cycles

Fix reboot loops and unstable power delivery.

Updated Feb 9, 2026

Overview

Power issues usually trace back to outlet load, unstable voltage, or a loose internal connection. Fix reboot loops and unstable power delivery.

Diagnostics

  • Confirm the outlet is live using a known-good device.
  • Inspect the power cable and connector for damage.
  • Check internal breaker or power switch status.

Resolution steps

  • Move the unit to a different outlet and retest.
  • Reseat power connections and secure strain relief.
  • Reduce shared load on the circuit if voltage drops.

Preventive maintenance

  • Avoid daisy-chaining high-load devices.
  • Use a surge protector rated for commercial loads.
  • Check cables during every service visit.

When to contact support

  • No power response after verified outlet test.
  • Repeated shutdowns after brief startup.
  • Visible damage to power components.

Expanded guidance

  • Confirm all steps are documented so the next technician can reproduce the results.
  • Capture before/after metrics (errors cleared, sales restored, or uptime improved).
  • Review machine, reader, or route settings to ensure they match location standards.

Common pitfalls

  • Skipping a controlled test leads to false positives.
  • Updating hardware without documenting configuration changes.
  • Forgetting to verify payout, refund, or reconciliation data after changes.

Next-step checklist

  • Run a final test with known-good inputs.
  • Log the outcome with date, time, and device identifiers.
  • Schedule a follow-up check if the location has high traffic or seasonal demand.

Additional details

Operational notes

  • Document changes with time, machine ID, and location name.
  • Verify settings, pricing, and service modes after each fix.
  • Capture before/after results to confirm resolution.

Field checklist

  • Test with known-good inputs and controlled conditions.
  • Validate telemetry, alerts, and payment logs where applicable.
  • Confirm location expectations and update the site contact.

Common root causes

  • Configuration drift after firmware or component swaps.
  • Inconsistent power or network conditions at the location.
  • Gaps in preventive maintenance routines.

Next steps

  • Monitor for 7 days and note any repeat errors.
  • Schedule follow-up if the site is high-traffic.
  • Escalate with full logs and photos if issues repeat.
