Re: Changing Servis M 3102 A (Caress 1200 ‘A’) Programmer
Dear Jimca007
Just thought you might like to know having had the PCB out, as I rather suspected after your advice and getting brain working, the ‘fingers’ in the plugs have an almost knife edge contact with the PCB contact ‘pads’. Also the plug construction is poor. The fingers barely contact the pads in some cases i.e. almost off the edge. A few shuffles of plug off, plug on for all three plugs and its behaving as it should. Thanks again. David BeeRe: Changing Servis M 3102 A (Caress 1200 ‘A’) Programmer
Dear jimca007,
Many thanks for your prompt and very helpful reply.
Yes! Why would I change what (now I have engaged my fault finding brain cells)is just a ganged rotary switch with a garden allotment full of spade connectors inside a dog kennel of packaging?
Answer: ‘Cos I’m in a learning curve about these quirky little over-complicated nasty little PCB / micro processor controlled over-priced tinware boxes.
Having suffered from too little inertia, jumped to the wrong conclusion and bought a ‘control module’ without asking wise heads such as yourself, that is the reason, except to say I have twizzled the programme switch on the front pretty enthusiastically at times.
It was after this the little white box got the hump and wouldn’t do anything. But eventually got over its sulk and worked again — as has just happened — again.
Humour apart, the problem would seem to be intermittent connection (? ) at the PCB end, so next step is to investigate this area.
Once again, many thanks for your succinct knowledgeable help
