The Ultimaker 3 extended no power. I check already the plug cable power source there is power, but ultimaker stop working. No display at all. May somebody encounter these problem. Please kindly help me.

Sounds most likely that the power supply brick needs replaced.

Plugging in the power cable can be very tricky.  Sometimes it feels like the cable is in but it isn't.  I'm talking about on the back of the printer.  This happened to me once and at least 2 people on this forum.  I was convinced it was the brick but it was the cable.  The circuit board can move a bit and then the cable won't fit.  Fix was to remove bottom cover, loosen screws that hold the board, plug in the brick, and then tighten the screws and replace the cover.

 

Also the power bricks have a powerful computer in them and the computer can get in a permanent loop.  I had one power supply that unplugging for 1 hours was not enough.  I had to unplug it for 24 hours and then it started working!

 

Does the brick LED turn on when you power it up?  If not try the 24 hour downtime.
