ok, i dont have one of those. i can take the board to work tomorrow and ask an electrician to take a look, if it is the diode could it be replaced with any diode of the same value, i.e. 100v 2A , or does it have to be a STPS2H100 ?

ok, i got it out. now i need to test the D7 Diode to make sure that is the fualt. how do i do that? what do i need ?

you could always see if one of the sites proffessional members live close and knows how to fix this fault

Thanks Dave, i tried the map but it won’t zoom in enough to show where the engineers are. it just tells me there are 23 in Stockport 🙁

As for accessing the D7 diode . . do i need to get the machine in its back, side ? how do i get to it ?

I just drove to RS Components to buy a D7 diode only to find them closed. i must be the only person in the UK who didn’t know today is a Bank Holiday :/

Hi all. great info on here. i have the same issue with the same model machine. just been quoted £146 to replace ‘the module’ , but no idea if that is actually this D7 thing. can anyone tell me EXACTLY what is involved in removing the board, testing the D& , removing/replacing the D& etc. I am not an electrician, i don’t have any of those kind of tools. I would guess you can snip the diode legs and solder a new one to those legs ? any help appreciated.
