Re: Ego 56v Battery Charger Failure

Thank you R_J

Here is a clear picture of the board with nothing hidden behind text.

I don't quite follow on C14 - I see D14, a diode. I think that might be C3 - there is a CY4 printed near it which may look like C14. It is near the transformer?

The resistor R59 is not open but measures about 425kΩ - seems close enough to 'open'. I've rarely seen damaged resistors, they tend to survive most of the time.

I've probed the remains of the R58 pad and it does seem to go to pin3 - I have indicated...

My neighbor recently brought me an Ego 56V Battery Charger due to my reputation of tinkering with everything, asking if it could be repaired.

I'm trying my hand at this, with limited knowledge and the best intentions, a tried and tested recipe for disaster .
I've always had an interest in electronics and I'm quite keen to learn but do not have the fundamental knowledge which I think most people in this forum possess.

The unit allegedly died with two successive loud bangs. This leads me to believe that one component failed catastrophically which cascaded into...

Re: Ego 56V battery charger dead

I have the same issue and have noted similar damage to the same components.
I'd also like to pursue fixing it - should I continue on this thread to create a better repository of information on the Ego charger or would a new thread be better?

Sorry to resurrect this old thread.
I found some useful info here and will add some more if someone else needs it.

This is for BN44-00247A / FSP050-2PI05 as pictured.

The model I got it from was a 2343BWX.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi All

I am new to this, but have a keen interest. I am currently trying some easier jobs to just get into it and become more comfortable with component level repair. I have already found some good info on this board!

I love tinkering and fixing stuff that might not even be economical to repair, I just do it for my own satisfaction. It probably gets over engineered in the process as well

I hope to contribute what I can, but sadly at this stage I'm more of a sponge. Perhaps in a few months...
