Ok so I had a chance to take it out and yes you were right. Master switch is f***ed. Here's a couple pics. Any idea if I could just get the burnt components? I can do soldering work.

Isnt this a simple $150 part? just buy a new one. |
Maybe might be easier but if I can save myself $150 why not. I checked the components they actually seem ok just the lines are totay burnt. I'll see if I can repair the board and post back. Worst case scenario I need a new switch. Best case I fixed it for free. I work with cell phones and do board repairs so maybe its paid off. We'll see I guess.

Cool.
Usually people that can do this kind of repair dont ask 'can it be done'. ;) Worse case is you burn out something else on the bus. |
I have a switch from my flooded parts car. It was under salt water for sure, but the elements may have survived. I can try to find it if you are interested.

Swap the switch with used or new one, its not an expensive part in the grand scheme of things.

I'll retry to repair it again tomorrow while I'm at work... if anyone is curious heres a picture of the current repair (blown again though) https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/53...909/Eo7UtG.jpg - blown line https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/53...537/ft2R8Y.jpg - From this image it's hard to see it unless under the right light but I got a small copper wire running under all that burn crap LOL |
Success!
I ended up repairing the board. It was such a mess everything was shorted with ground. I had to use isolated wire I had from a macbook air display cable. soldered everything together and tested with my multimeter - no more short. Plugged it in and everything works. doesn't look pretty but it works (and gets covered by plastics anyways) The line was so badly burnt that I could actually fit the wire in it with no problems. I glued it down with some acrylic compound for boards and everything worked out great.. Sorry I forgot to take pics. |
Interesting. Any idea what failed initially to cause this? A trace partially fail, and then the remaining trace overheated and burned due to the increased current concentration???
