Paging Pip.

The regulator arrived today. I'll get on to the de-potting later this week.
(Skanky old soldering too innit?)
Cheers.

Not outstanding. Mine dew, I did lever the potting compound out with a
screwdriver.

 

Got the bugger depotted this morning. Pretty horrible underneath the potting
compound too. Cause of failure: ingress of moisture resulting in *massive*
corrosion of pcb tracks and subsequent destruction of many components.
Fortunately enough remains to be able to reverse-enginer the circuit.
Can you scan in and email the wiring diagram covering the area around the
alternator/charge indicator light up to the battery, as this will help
immensely.
cheers,
JB

 

I thought you were talking about some potted plant until I read your
reply.

 

The only 'potted' plant you'd ever see me mooching around would be some
variety of skunk or other illuminated by many kW of HPS lamps.
I really *don't* do horticulture.

Aha. There is corrosion all around the edges of where the potting
compound met the case. This prolly explains why it was so easy to
lever out!

Cct en route entire.

 

Received with thanks.
