chad austin Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I am looking for an electronics shop recommendation from some of you who have had work done. My converter in my wheel house wasn't charging correctly and I'm assuming the picture above is the reason why. I don't know if there was more damage than this done, visually I don't see anything else but with electronics it's not as easy as "looking". The converter is an IOTA 45 out of a camper that was thought to be a good unit. I don't have anything into it as far as $$ so that is why I am looking to repair it. Hopefully I can get by with a small repair bill rather than buying a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Kuhn Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Common problem: leaking electrolytic capacitor. Look up the part number and see if you can buy one from the likes of digikey or mouser. I'd probably replace both of them. Could be done for ~$10 yourself, assuming you have the ability to solder.

Good luck with the repair Chad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoaru99 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 That's more than just leaking. Hopefully nothing else damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
