I got tons of knowledge from your videos, very appreciate. I have some experience to fix this type of issue, the red wire, and the white wire at the terminal board, compose of the communication lines between indoor and outdoor, they should have PWM signals when setting at DC voltage. There is an open circuit at the implanted power switch on the board, check DC voltage at the power switch and trace the PCB, you should find a component "O.L.", you may check a few resistors, diodes and a Voltage Regulator in the loop.

Nice video Ralph, things are so much easier when you have seen them done. Keep up the good work. Ray

I have two 2 ton mr slims with bad boards. thank you so much

Betcha that extra silicone blob on the new board is to keep the part from vibrating and breaking a leg due to fatigue.

Nice video/ thanks for all your current help with the big M

I think the problem on the board is ZD 652, there is a cold soldering you can see that the print is dark around the soldering , maybe changing zener diode and / or soldering it again Regards Niels

Are multi zoned mini split are a good alternative to a regular central unit?

Those systems are becoming a little less intimidating, thanks to your videos. Thanks for roughing it one-handed to get the video.

I really wanted to get a video on the first control board I installed but by the time I got there to do the job it was dark and I had to install it by using a flash light. I was bummed out because I didn't get to film it. So this video does prove they do break and you might come across one. Thanks for watching, I'm glad I could help

No problem Justin

2 boards in one month? Wow, how much do these boards cost and what is the average labor cost to perform the repair if not covered by the warranty? Is this a common problem and if not what do you think is causing this frequent failure of the control board thank you in advance!

I accidentally wired the active cable for my main power in to a signal terminal where the sdi cable goes. Is there a high chance I would've blown the board? My ac split system runs but it doesn't cool..it's pretty much a fan lol

Is it hard to change an expansion valve?

Can you help me, my 18 k is ok but the two 9k are not communicating with the out door unit I can turn them on with the remote the luvers open and the fan comes on. What is the most likely cause on the pproblem? cheers Walter

Ha man like the vid.. I do see these mini spits down in Florida. I wrk on them sometimes but I like the technical part. So now I no if I run in this problem I will have your video saved. Thks for the advice and the lesson.

why does the AC control board damaged so easily, is it due to surge?

nice job!!!!

Actually I saw several spots that seems burned. You did it so fast but it looked like a little capacitor was burned.

Those noises just after power-on were self-test. Sounded like it was poking the motors with short pulses.

hi what state are you in? looking for good service in Baytown, tx. do you know a good supplier for boards for Quietside? Thanks, robert

nice job on Mitsubishi here in North Canada we get lots of power issues surges outages and I do lots of boards still customers don't want surge protectors go figure what about there?

Hi guys, the noises on power up are the exv( electronic expansion valves ) opening.E6 fault? He'll there are so many things that can fail, the c&n 801 pink plug should have 325- - dc .Then the fuse f64 behind the front if blow would mean the power board has failed. Near this fuse are white resistors 10 ohms 5w . Make sure you check them and again the left power board would fail these.On the power board with three blue caps- red probe to n and black to p(yes) power off there should be hi resistance in k ohms and between u v w, not low ohms.Check those exv ,s are not corroded on valve stems- it will blow out resistors where they plug in.If a exv fails and no spares 2 curved magnets will open it turned like a tap. C/w shut and cc/w openHope I've helped somebody .Roy in nz

So why exactly would the corrosion on the exp valve cause it to blow the resistors. Are these resistors controlling the exp valves or is the valve remaining shut and causing high pressure on the compressor and therefore overloading the drive circuitry that the resistors are part of? Very curious thanks.

Hi t&n , check those expansion valve and stems for corrosion. Swap unused for the two circuits in use. Just a thought after you replacing the board more than once.(:

Hi, I mean if you thought electronic expansion valves were,t opening on power up and may be or giving problems you could use spare un used from indoor circuit d. Swap the head and plug. They are at the bottom back.

What causes the boards to fail? Can the consumer to anything to prevent failure?

Hey Rob, They do make one, I would go talk to the supplier or give the applications department at Mitsubishi a call to see which one the suggest

My liters on the circuit board are flashing 3 flashes

I so do not like circuit boards. They're always way too expensive. The companies go out of business or the company changes to a different board or stops making that board or every electric issue causes a problem and you can't get anywhere with the utility company or you have to call a 1-800 number for technical assistance and after an hour of fustration talking to some guy in india decifering his english you get nowhere. Why do you need them. I've come across older AC systems on restaurants that have obsolete circuit boards, I removed them and installed a compressor contactor, a blower contactor a time delay a 24v transformer and a new thermostat...easy...strong and works long term like a refrigeration system and I didn't have to take a $1500.00 course to work on the units circuit boards. Sorry for the rant, I drank too much coffee, I have to go fix a bakery freezer. (no circuit board) My glycemic level goes up just smelling the confectionary sugar there, it's a sweet job.

More than likely a sensor issue not the board if the sensor resistance isn't correct there will be a lock out relay activated on the board
