Above: A PCB burn around a transistor.
Above: The same board as at the top of this page after burn has been removed and transistor replace. With dual
layer PCB's most burns are repairable at a far cheeper cost than the purchase of a new board. Again 1 years warranty will
be given on Burns Victims repairs.
A VL 700W APS showing the burned tracks which supply the H Bridge.
The same board as above but with the burns removed prior to the track replacement wires being added. It
is vitaly important that all burns are removed as burns consist of carbon which is a conductor of electricity.
A Mac 2K control board showing an off board repair to a burned Pan / Tilt drive FET. The replacement
FET is mounted clear of the burned area of the board on a small copper heatsink. A good board again and one that Martin will
not touch for repair.
Above: A classic failure of a CS4 dimmer board.
One of our aims is to dispel the myth that a burned board is irreparably damaged. Depending on the location
of the burn and the size of the burn, many boards are repairable and at a cost far cheaper than a replacement board. Please
forward us pictures of your burned boards for repair assessment by us.
