        I noticed search engine's web crawlers are picking up the site, which is good for the tech and repairs.
        It's just a few minutes to figure what the feed motor board is doing and draw up a schematic. I couldn't see all parts/traces but got enough.
        A few boards burn up parts and welder-types not sure what the problem is to fix it. But defo need to add some transient protection, or spend more money on a better MIG welder.

                This is an issue with some very well known brands the feed motor circuit fry’s some portion of the circuit board for some reason I have repaired a couple of them that this type of failure but never figured out exactly what the issue was

                    It should be repairable but be careful when removing the carbon from the board on both sides not to remove to much of the board material so you have something to work with and trying not to remove any of soldering traces if possible because the more of this you remove the harder it going to be to repair this board

                    I done this type of repair many times before in the past and had very good results but you have to have patience and can not be in a hurry to get the job done quickly because it will not be done correctly

                    Please let us know if you were able to get it back up and running again

                        So, that board is just to control the feed motor, controlled by the switch on the handle. I had the same issue and I simply replaced the board with a few things.

                        1 - a 12VDC / 2 amp power supply. I had plenty laying around. I had to modify the power line to ensure the that was powered from the AC.

                        2 - I replaced the speed potentiometer with a PWM 12VDC / 10 amp self-contained controller (https://www.amazon.com/mxuteuk-Contr...s_id=306530011)

                        3 - I opened and cut the trace in said controller between the on/off switch and the power to the 555 timer. There is a small trace there, but this is where I decided to solder the trigger switch.

                        This is involved, but that cost me a total of an hour of assembly and about $20.00 of parts). I had most of those, but there are some 12VDC PWM controllers with an on/off button available. The feed is super quiet and the PWM does a much better job of controlling the speed. No loss of power, so no large resistor and high current to waste and burn that board.

                            Good work on coming up with a solution for this issue let hope that it can survive the harsh environment

                            One issue that can cause this is that the trigger switch wires could break and short to the high tension welding wire and burn up the speed controller board

                            One solution is to use a flat two wire cable and wire it directly from the trigger switch to the speed controller board on the high tension welding wire as your support for switch wires

                                Nescafe Aeroccino, still fails with new Motor (red flashes only once)
                                by juergenb
                                Hi,

                                i am asking for some Help.
                                I have one of these Nescafe Aeroccino (Milk Frother) things with a bad motor.
                                The Motor didn´t start anymore and internet is full of users just swapping the motor for a Mabuchi RF-500TB-12560.
                                So i got a few of these from Banggood.

                                I swapped the motor and now i have a new fault condition.

                                In a working Frother you would press the start button, it will light red and work for a few minutes.
                                If you press longer it will light blue and just mixup the milk.

                                With the new Motor it just starts...

                                Motor run capacitor physical size vs voltage rating & measurements?
                                by Per Hansson
                                (TL;DR skip the first paragraph)
                                I encountered my first dead motor run capacitor at a customer this week.
                                For some fields I guess it is a very common occurrence but the usual way for industrial machines here is to use 3-phase motors.
                                (Unless a servo motor makes more sense that is).
                                But for some reason this 3-phase machine uses a 1-phase motor for its liquid coolant pump.
                                The pump would run but sometimes trip the 10A breaker.
                                I monitored it starting and stopping for over an hour until it finally stopped in a specific spot between its windings:
                                Then it could...

                                Help identify this motor
                                by mikey5791
                                Hi all forum members,
                                Found this unknown motor discarded in a junk yard and took home for learning experience. By the look of it, I suspect it is taken out from a type of air blower probably running on ac power. I used digital multimeter on ohm/resistance scale and it doesn't read anything on those 2 black wires. So, this motor is not shorted and should be good to run.

                                Correct me if i am wrong on the initial test.
                                Can anyone kindly advice on how to test run this motor based on visible external two black wires. Fyi, i don't see any marking on the motor body nor smell anything...

                                PS4 controller left stick potentiometer replacement issue
                                by ezenia
                                Hello,

                                Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

                                So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

                                I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...

                                i have a 2020 macbook pro 13" A2251 with 820-09149 logic board so i found an issue with chip labeled U6903 according to schem. boardview using flexBV software, so i removed it from the board and the issue im having is that the chip says "07A08FI ELC180​" on top of it but when searching for a replacement chip, i can find tons of identical looking chips that also have "ELC180" printed on them but the first set of digits is never the same so im trying to find out if i need this exact chip with these same numbers as mine and if not which ones are compatible as a replacement?...
