John I thought I saw some bubbling on the U7 IC but it looks to be just the glue/lacquer Losmandy/Aveox used to glue down the firmware sticker on the DSPIC.
I repaired a similar fault you mentioned.....it was the H bridge in that case.?? I suspect Losmandy would like to see it.??
These PCBs are repairable fully!?? They are designed to be repaired!?? The repairs have spares of this IC and all others on hand in stock.?? David Partridge has replaced one of these (he's in the UK). I'm in Australia, I've done 2 now.?? But Brian Valente (the Losmandy rep) expressed desire to bring it back to their shop.? They have probably replaced plenty. ? So I suggest you sent it to Losmandy.
I mean its up to you but since they asked I think they are interested in analysing this issue...and of course fixing it to component level
Cheers
Brendan
