It is not a phone, but my coffee machine electronic just died (but after 7 years). It had no visible damage (water, electric shock).
After changing the main PCB it was working again, like new.
I regret not playing more with the old PCB though, like checking capacitors or resistors values.
- ComputerGuru 9y agoIt might have been bad solder. Some of that lead-free stuff is utter garbage and could have failed mechanically (of it hadn’t been on right) or reflowed due to the heat.
- organsnyder 9y agoI fixed our 20-year-old range by replacing capacitors. They failed exactly like the caps on early-mid-2000's motherboards.
- kuschku 9y agoYeah, I’m right now using a 14 year old monitor, and I’ve replaced two caps, but it’s still running. Next to it I have a 6 year old monitor, in which I can’t replace the caps because it’s glued together.
