Hi Guys
Thanks for the input, I suppose I really should try and repair this myself, after all I have nothing to lose, if it doesn't work I can always buy a new one.
Thanks for the link to your article nino, one thing that troubles me though you say these boards can take from 3 to 10 hours to repair, and thats for someone like you who actually knows what they are doing. I don't know if I will live long enough to finish mine.
If you are hesitant, you can always order the replacement board. either way, the connectors have to be replaced.
A "quick fix" would be to sand the connectors on the boards (Power board and solenoid driver). This MAY buy you some time until you have the confidence to replace the connectors and solder in the replacement board or repair the board itself.
I work at my pace, so 3 - 10 hours can be anywhere in between - but it also depends on the condition of the board.
