Bad inverter readings??? Little help

Magnum ms2812. First my electrical panel showed house batteries being charged 264 amps? Thought just bad reading. Replaced all batteries ( shop left them dead 4 months). 1st night kept kicking off and on (over heating) fault. Turned charger off and all ok. Next day ( internal bridge) fault. Did hard reset. Nothing. Now internal charger reading? Nothing working.
Trying to get into a shop as we are on the road. Don’t know if it is worth repairing or just replace. Online around $2000. The shop will most likely be $3000 or more?? Labor to repair maybe as much as to replace. Any of you been in this situation?

Safe travels all

Not sure what you are asking. If you're looking for troubleshooting help you'll need to supply some specific information.

Sounds like it is bad. Replacement boards for the 2812 are pricey, around $350 for the controller and $700 or so for the power board. That's discount house pricing - most repair shops would charge higher prices.

I have seen some repair facilities in u tube vids that can actually repair boards if possible. I followed one vid and asked about a fuse he told me there was indeed a fuse on my Tripplite . It was in another hard to find location due to being a newer model. I soldered wires bypassing burnt fuse and remoted it externally in case it went out again.
I have seen many inverters at half price or less on FB Marketplace had one I was going to score if I couldn't repair it.

Inverter

Can’t say enough good things about National Indoor RV in Lewisville Tx. One days notice and they got me in and out in same day. I was expecting the worst. After talking with Magnum and told most likely board problem I expected to be in 2-3 thousand dollar range. After two days on the road with no 110 and only way to charge coach batteries was with coach engine? Just enough power to run furnace at night and bring slides in. Turned out to a loose wire and replace cooling fans! $450. I’ve never got out of RV service for that little! So nice to have everything working again.

Safe travels all
