What, like this.



Obviously its not easy to take a pic of such a small thing but, the blob of soder is where the fix is.

I have looked at 3 failed ones so far and they have all gone in the same place and the same way!

So ..... if I had problems with my ABS (quickley touches wood  :-?) I'd be able to save myself £100/£150 with just a well placed blob of solder?  :-/  :y  :y

So would incorrect jumpstarting cause that connection to burn out then?

'Cos if memory serves me right, when mine went last year, it was about the same time that my battery started to go and I had to use the jump leads a couple of times..... :-[

I doubt it.....over charging is a remote outsider.

And to fix, requries a microscope and very small sodlering iron tip.....and even thats not easy to do!

How does one go about getting the unit open ?

I have replaced mine recently (well, someone had to do it for me  ::) ) and have the old unit - keen to get it fixed....my father is a dab hand with a soldering iron, just not sure how to open it up ?
