HP OMEN ACCELERATOR NOT WORKING

[mafs14]

Hello,

I'm from the Philippines and have an HP Omen Accelerator. The external GPU was working fine when I first placed my Radeon RX 580 and was being read by my MacBook Pro 2020 13" in MacOS. I encountered a problems when I booted into Windows via Bootcamp.

Downloading the drivers forced me to restart the system a lot, which meant I had to plug and unplug the thunderbolt 3 connector which forced my e-gpu to power on and off constantly. The e-gpu worked fine until the last system restart I did when the HP Omen Accelerator Logo LED light would not turn on anymore. I tried a few more times after and the only response I got from the device was the LED on the motherboard turning on and the LED light on my GPU. The power signal still ran through my laptop as I connected the thunderbolt 3 connector, but it would not read the GPU nor the SSD. This led me to think that the PSU was not exhausting enough power to start up both the Accelerator and my power my MacBook.

The next day, I purchased a new PSU which had a higher wattage capacity at 650W and plugged it in. The Omen Accelerator yielded the same results with just the motherboard LED and GPU LED indicators powering on and still does no power for the fans and LED Omen logo in the front. This is now leading me to believe that the IO motherboard is the issue.

My current problem is that the device is not available in my country (Philippines) and was purchased in the US. So I am under the assumption that the e-gpu will not be serviceable in the Philippines. I tried calling customer service but none could answer my questions. I'm wondering what steps I can take to get the device working again given these circumstances.

P.S. the GPU now cannot be read by MacOS and Windows Bootcamp.
