[EVDL] Raptor repair update

734 Views 1 Reply 1 Participant Last post by  EVDL List
The damage is confined to one end of the control board & appears to be
moisture damage. The main worry I can see about fixing it is that there are
parts no longer easily obtained. There is an HV9120P PWM controller for
example which has the remains of a bug between pins 1 & 2 on the under side.
It appears to have been there a long time as it is mummified It has also
blown out on the top surface above pin 5. There is an IRF740 which has
flashed from source to drain which may have initiated the failure. On the
basis of this inspection Ill see if I can get the tricky parts & have a go
at fixing it. David

David,
Have you spoken with Peter Senkowski in your search for parts? He is still
in production of the Raptor (as well as the T-Rex). Contact me off line for
his # if you don't have it.
