In a recent thread, a month or so ago, superfuji57 posted that he'd gotten a "new" AVC-R off eGay that didn't work... upon opening the AVC-R, it was obvious that the unit was damaged, it had a scrape down the PCB. I offered to fix it for him, last weeks he ships it off to me. When I removed the rear cover, it was obvious that one of the small surface mount components had been knocked off the rearmost small board that has the wiring pigtail connected to it - it wasn't in the AVC-R case, and I have NO CLUE what sort of component it is since none of my local friends owns an AVC-R anymore.

Can somebody with a decent quality digital camera, or a flatbed scanner, and a little compassion pop off the rear cover of their AVC-R and take some pictures? I have to be able to see/read the numbers on the back of the tiny surface mount caps and resistors for it to be of any use. I'm not making any money off this deal, I offered to try to fix it because I don't like seeing somebody get fucked in the *** for $500.

 

free bump I wish I could help you out

 

Here ya go.... Some random pictures... i wasn't sure what exactly you needed, but i've got it sitting open here on my desk, so if you need anything more detailed (super-macro), circle the section in Paint or something, and email the pic back to me (JohnW@RPIracing.com), and i'll get it for you

Hey, thank you! The first four pictures were what I needed.

There is a deep gouge - past the copper trace material - on the leftmost pad of C5 if you referred to http://www.rpiracing.com/Compo...4.jpg. Some of the small tracings above C2 are cut, and the gouge itself starts where the white screenprinted text "C2" should be and ends right at the arrowhead for the printed C13.

I'm not wholly comfortable with blindly substituting parts, and there are no marked values for the SMT caps, but I can toss one or two of the other caps onto a Z meter and take a stupid wild *** guess if the AVC-R's owner is amenable.

 

Ouch... thats a hell of a gouge... good luck fixing that

If you need any other pics or anything if this deal, let me know

 

If you can make that thing functional your a genius.
Did superfuji57 ever look into having Apex repair the unit?

 

They told me I was **** outta luck, and to buy a new one from them.

 

BTW, Thanks for everyone's help.
