Helijan class14 pcb repair

#1

Post by Roger O »

Is there anyone on the forum who can repair a pcb .
I have a class 14 helijan and the pcb has developed a fault, the lights all work but motor doesn’t ,I’ve tested motor removed and it works also tested it with power from output of pcb and all works also put power to pcb input and nothing to motor but all lights work.i can’t see any damage to the pcb so I suspect a component as blown.
I’ve tried helijan but they are in the process of moving there uk distributor until March.

I think from looking sat my phots closely is the board needs a bit of a clean and then I’ll re solder all the motor inputs to the board as I can’t see any components in the motor lines on the board hopefully it’s just a dry joint. Does any one have any good ideas.

It looks like there may be cross tracking on the 8-pin socket. Just enough whiskering to cause problems.
