Hello, I have had a Chroma X in storage for about 1 year, I took it out again and am experiencing a strange problem - it won’t stay powered on for more than about 30s. From the operating system perspective I am seeing that it just never reaches a workign state. When connected to my MacBook, I see that it momentarily provides charging power to the MacBook, but then powers off rapidly. I currently suspect a PSU problem. What are my options to get a working Core X Chroma ??
