Hello, The circuit (part number 60920600, the warning panel by the shift level on the center console) board on my 1985 Eurospec Mondial Cab is going away. Does anyone have any ideas of what to do for a replacement? Ferrari does not have the part anymore and at the moment I have not been able to locate it thru any of the usual suspects. Do you think it can be repaired? I have attached photos. It is just a small area that looks like it is starting to melt. I called some circuit board repair places I found on the Internet, they all were industrial only, non-automotive repair oriented.Is there some other make that uses the same board? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Peter [email protected] Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
From the photos, I can see that your board has been repaired once already. (See the two black jumpers added in the top corner of the backside photo.) Trace the newly burned circuit to its LED. Read the panel to see which circuit this is. (This circuit is drawing too much current.) Which component is overheating on the top of the board..? (add photo) How is your underhood fuse block..? Edwardo
The wires soldered to the back of the board could be a factory change. This is common. Azorf, if you want to send it to me, I'll see what I can do. PM me. Birdman
Hi, Thank you for your responses. I took a photo of the top side area that is above the blackened area on the bottom of the board, it looks like one of the "U" shaped items that is a wire bent over with a roundish cylinder on it, is the affected item, but I know nothing about these electronics so I don't really know. The fuse panel on the car is new. Thanks again for your input, Peter [email protected] Image Unavailable, Please Login
Looks like a resistor, , the photo is too blurry to make out the color code. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Azorf, Find local shops in your areas that fix TVs and VCRs. They do replace parts on circuit boards all the time. They may ask you where its from but I would hesitate to tell them its off a Ferrari. Just tell them its from an older car and leave at that. Every year I bring my car amps and equalizer to a TV shop to get the welds checked for cracks. The guy charges me $10 to $20 bucks to look at it and repair a few loose welds or replace a resistor here and there and he feels bad because he says because its not his usual work (car audio) he has to charge me something. Resistors and capacitors are very cheap usually worth a few dollars for a pack of 20 or 50 so one here and there is nothing. They always ask what does this go on ? or where is it from? ..just ask does anyone fix circuit boards and replace parts on them here ? You will get either a yes or a no. Good luck !
Looking at the photo you took, you have a component drawing too much current, probably a resistor. But these dont just GO, they have too much current pulled through them from something else in the circuit. I doubt it would be the LED's, so check the lamps that were installed and make sure no one has put the wrong wattage in (too high). I also see that below the U shaped track that is burnt is a solder joint that looks like it has got hot too, and does not look like a good joint, maybe a dry or cold solder joint. If you have no luck with a local tv repair shop( the old hands on guys are becoming few and far between) you can PM me for my address and I can see what I can do for you in the way of fixing it. PS did this co-incide with the replacement of the fusebox
You may also want to look for pinball and arcade game distributors/repair centers. They make these kinds of fixes all the time on older games
