Hi guys,

I recently acquired an chipped p13 ecu from another member. I've driven the car with the ecu a few times even though I've had it in for a few months. The first few times were great, felt a real difference. Then recently I started getting a solid cel! Jumped the service connector but still solid.

I done a bit of searching and found that with a solid cell, it's most likely the ecu at fault. So today I pulled the chipped ecu and put in my old one and everything was ok.

I opened it up and found it had been socketed and chipped. I looked at the underside and found it look like this:



I'm not good with electricals so I don't know what to make of it? :?: What is the problem? It looks like there are a few dark joints and some sort of dry joints....
Is this fixable???

Help......
Thanks

 

wow that looks horrible....

the real way to fix that is to de-solder all of that crap, then have someone who knows what they're doing to redo it....

 

Uh oh looks like someone messed with it! That or I would source a new ECU altogether. Doesn't even look like soldering liquid...more like some half assed glue.

 

yeah i'm no good at soldering but when I saw this I thought hold on.... this doesn't look too hot!

 

i have a virgin p13 by the way, if you want it....PM me
