Quick Answer
To determine if a Yeti is turned off or malfunctioning, check the battery level display, press the power button to see if it responds, and listen for any unusual sounds or vibrations.
Visual Inspection and Display Check
If your Yeti is turned off, the battery level display will be dark or show a low battery icon. Press the power button to wake up the display and see the current battery level. This should be around 12-14 volts for lithium batteries. If the display remains dark or doesn’t respond, this could indicate a malfunction. Remove any debris or dust from the display and try again.
Power Button and LED Indicators
Press the power button to see if it responds. If the button is stuck or doesn’t light up the LED indicators, this could be a sign of a malfunction. Check the power button for any blockages or corrosion. If the LED indicators light up but don’t respond to the power button, this could be a software issue. Try resetting the Yeti by pressing and holding the power button for 10-15 seconds.
Audible and Vibration Tests
If the Yeti is malfunctioning, it may produce unusual sounds or vibrations. Turn off the power station and listen for any unusual noises, such as humming, beeping, or grinding. Check the Yeti’s fans and inverter for any blockages or damage. If the Yeti is producing unusual vibrations, such as rattling or shaking, this could indicate a problem with the internal components. Run a diagnostic test on the Yeti to identify any potential issues.
