circuit board repair

[civicrider]

Hey guys,

I have a power converter that stopped working, I can't find a replacement so I'm hoping someone is able to repair it. Can anyone recommend a place that might be able to help me out?

are you willing to open it up yourself and maybe identify if there are obvious opens in the components on the PCB?(loose/broken component contact points, subpar solder areas etc) could save you some time and money.

This is what i have done with a few things myself. I repaired my x50 radar detector, a sonicview FTA receiver, and car amp. In all 3 cases it was blown caps. Generally they use poor quality ones because of the cost.

good guy.I think he's still there.

yes I opened it and everything seems to be okay, I cant see anything broken or cooked.

are you able to pull the whole PCB out? so that you can see the solder points underneath, check for discoloured parts or burnt contact points.
