Bruce,
Try using some kind of aerosol base such as Goo-gone, karosel, etc. What I'm afraid is if the circuit line was drawn by conducting pen, they using karosel might wipe it out.
The best thing is scrapping some pins and test wire connection, ohm, cap, etc. With those at hand, we can guess what kind of circuit it is.
Good luck.

 

Received the cables from Bruce last Friday, and installed today. Everything works fine, and I didn't get any error msg. Thanks Bruce =)

 

You need some sort of a potting remover or encapsulation remover product. It would be helpful if you know what type of material the circuit is potted with (acrylic, epoxy, urethane, silicone,...). Here's a link to some products manufactured by Dynaloy that are specifically designed for this purpose, I am sure there are other companies that make similar products in Europe too.

Here's the link: >>>>>CLICK HERE<<<<<

 

Any ideas on how to find out what material the potting material is. Its black and hard! The good news is that the material has not touched the PCB bottom track side at all. Its a printed PCB and unless its double sided I can figure out the circuit connections.

 

Resin used is to protect from vibrations. Its normally used for small circuit including control modules like ABS n airbag. I believe that you can just try to heat it up a little to see if it melt. Dont think its double sided PCB. I'll try to check what are the normal resins used.

Great work Bruce.

 

Well, since you said that it's a hard material it can't be silicone. The "Dynasolve 100" is supposed to work on all other materials except for silicone (see link in my previous post). So it seems like the best option to use. As someone mentioned, heat may work as well.

 

Cant seem to find this Dynasolve 100 anywhere in the UK. Does anyone know an alternative or can someone in the US buy this for me. I'll pay for it and shipping.

 

Bruce,

I don't know if you've already checked out the links on the UK Rep. page on Dynaloy's website. There are two Rep's in the UK and also BASF in Germany. Here's the link to that page: >>>>>Dynaloy's Rep's for the UK<<<<<

One of the UK rep's is in Manchester....they're called ECL Chemicals. They supposedly carry Dynaloy products, although I don't know if they specifically carry the Dynasolve 100 or not. Here's what they say on their website: "All Dynaloy products are supplied from stock, with an order turnaround of 2-3 days.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT DYNALOY PRODUCTS EMAIL US..."

Here's a link to their website:>>>>>ECL Chemicals Ltd. Website<<<<<


It may be hard for someone to buy it and send it from the US because it may be considered as hazardous material, in which case it may require going through special shipping companies, etc.

 

Thanks for this. Rung up both companies and neither have this in Stock and they wont get it too.


I have now refunded all unshipped orders until I resolve all issues. However you maintain your position in the place and I will contact you when I have a completed product. A few people have reported that their kit started playing up after a few days and so I dont want to ship any more out until I fix the issues. Another thing I just learnt is that Canadian cars are different from US and EU cars in that both outer and middle bulbs light up with the Brake.

 

keep up the good work Bruce !
