SI repairs
Greg,
You seem to have a really good handle on these SI boards.
I have been struggling to get all of my instruments working and have been able to confirm the one remaining issue is the SI board.
To this point I have installed different SI boards and get different results. Sadly I damaged the board I was replacing batteries on and got a different used board to try. Between the 2 boards all my instrument work but on the later board the gas gauge is not firing up.
I will go through the board and see if there are any bad traces, but is there a schematic that shows where the gas gauge circuit runs, if I could just get it working I'm fully functional.
Also the battery replacement went bad trying to suck solder out of the holes in the board. The rings around two holes lifted under suction. I would like to replace the Lithium batteries, this is the short battery setup and I think it best to desolder from the batteries and leave the board alone, to fragile. Have you done them this way?
Just curios.
Great write up, it is great to find your expertise here,
Thank you
