This is a very specialized area of repair. Totally necessary with modern vehicles. I'm glad there are techs such as yourself that tackle these jobs

I did this type of reverse engineering work on aircraft test sets when the manufacture no longer supported the end item. I too would make up test fixtures to test single boards or the whole unit. This type of work is very specialized and time consuming but when it's done you have a good feeling and a great amount of data to use in the future. I had a lot of fun doing that type of work and made ok money doing it. One of my specialties was repairing heavily damaged circuit boards. Boards that had missing runs, burnt runs or were burnt all the way through so that all that was left was a sheet of charcoal in the damaged area. As long as you have a schematic or the board still has the charred runs on it you can repair it. The hard part was inlaying new PCB in the charred out area after it was removed and adding the new runs and Eyelets. Thanks for sharing, I look fwd to the rest of the series. Best Wishes & Blessings.

It's common to find through-hole burns in boards and they can be repaired but it's a nightmare when it comes to multilayer boards

@@roseelectronics4582 Most definitely, multi-layer is not a lot of fun to repair when you have to go through several layer. Usually I just run a jumper wire on top of the board if it's buried to deep or not work the effort. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

Sir, you are a life saver. As manufacturers try to shut down the independent repair market and parts become discontinued. These skills are vital. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips. I have been in electronics my entire adult life; from manufacturing to rework and repair. I am working on my first TCU and stumbled on your video. Stress level decreased by 200%!! SUBSCRIBED!

This is really awesome, Maic. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. Very much looking forward to following this series.

Automotive diagnostics has lead me to circuit board repair too. Currently fixing my first ECM with a fried injector driver. Can't wait for part 2. Love the lab set up too.

Hi Maic I joined Hi-tech Automotive Training Academy in Panjab, India. They have a two month, immersive, component level ECM repair training program. I'm watching your videos as a supplement for my training. Yours is a great channel. Keep it going.

Yes this is another level. i know people who do that kind of repair here in Serbia (sometimes it is to expensive to us to buy new PCM) and i do like to see that kind of repair on youtube.

This is fantastic! I can’t wait to learn more. Thanks for doing this!

You have some nice equipment. I have that exact X-Tronics soldering station and it has never failed. After I purchased it I actually got a email reply from X-Tronics after I asked them about replacement parts, and they said the 4000 series was their most trouble free soldering station they sell. They claimed it would be rare it would ever need any parts on normal wear if it hasn't been abused. I've had it for about 4 or 5 years now and never even had to replace a heating element in it yet... and I've used it a lot. Never replaced a tip, as I use tip tinner, and that stuff works. Your recommendation is right, this is a good unit.

Thanks for sharing your setup. You've showed great work and repairs can be done in a small space with the proper tools. Regards from Panama!

This is a great video; interesting, informative, and educational. I can’t wait for the next one. You are an exceptional talent. Thank you for sharing.

Man I am learning a lot. I am pretty much self taught in using a lab scope for my diagnosis and picked up a few books. I was always curious to learn how to fix the electronics. I live in a very low income area where people can’t afford high dollar repair on electronics and I try my best to see what I can do save them some cash. I’ll be watching more videos man great stuff!

Subscribed! looking forward to learning more about the internal repair techniques.

There are limitations and always will be with ecus. Modern ones have multi layer boards and troubleshooting them usually reaches a cul-de-sac. We had a lot of success with the 80s and 90s ecus with resistor, transistor or cap faults. Mostly caps become faulty, leak or swell and are easy to spot.

No comment, nr. 1!!! Thank you

You have an impressive electronics repair setup.

I am very excited to see any videos on this subject you wanna make. I have been rebuilding GM Instrument clusters and prior to that was doing some TV repair. I have fixed a lot of other things with guides from online. I am just a part changer. I never figured out how to break down a board to component level. I understand electricity but I dont understand electronics on the level you do.

@MaicSalazarDiagnostics

4 жыл бұрын

First, thanks so much for your kind comment. And yes, there’s a lot of good guide videos online on how to replace a part, but very view that show how to test if the part on the board is actually bad. I always wanted to share the process for how I determine if you have a bad resister, capacitor, diode, etc, since there is really no one else who does that. So hopefully, more and more people will subscribe to the channel and these classes will help a lot of people.
