Hi all,
sadly, I need to give up SB3 repairs. After five SB3s failed in sequence during or after the capacitor renewal procedure (which succeeded many times before), I can no longer offer this type of service. This happened despite all measures of care like ESD protection, capacitor discharge before soldering, removing the CPU board before starting work on the capacitors, etc. So I will keep my hands off the SB3 caps, apparently there is something I don't understand about this matter, and all experience isn't helping. I can still offer the display replacement, however, with no warranty of any sort. If you send me an SB3 with a darkened shadowy display, it is not unlikely that the repair ends in a full defect. Until now, I used to extract a working CPU board from one of my own SB3s to get other people's units back working but I'm now running out of stock and motivation. This way, I spend more money on a repair than I can ever earn from it. It just doesn't make sense this way. I'm really hoping that one day somebody discovers what makes the SB3 fail. Until then, a lot of SB3s are at a dead end. Boom display and speaker repairs are still possible, of course, even though the risk of suddenly dying affects the Boom as well. It's just not happened to me yet. Hope for your understanding. Cheers, Joe PN me if your Boom / Classic / Transporter display has issues!
