Here is another board that was badly "repaired". Symptom was that it was continually blowing either the top HV fuse, or both at the same time.

However, this only started happening AFTER I removed the 10 Amp fuses ! They SHOULD be 3/8 Amp Fast. A very common band aid for dodgy repairers / dealers is to mask the problem by overfusing the boards.









Given so many tracks are damaged, I was thinking of using the Homepin HV board.


I've installed a ton of eyelets this year and have reliably repaired a great number of driver boards without ugly jumpers.

Hey John,

Where do you source your eyelets from? They seem to be a difficult item to locate - or I'm just looking in the wrong places @.@

Andy

I've never seen these available ? I have not really looked that hard - but it would be a great option.
