You pretty much dive straight into the controller, myself would be testing for shorts first, you've said a lot in this video but nothing educational because you're not telling how you came to that conclusion of this faulty controller which is pretty disappointing, besides that I can hardly believe you can transplant a controller chip from one board to the other without doing a reprogramming step somewhere in between. Keep up the good work, and keep a close eye on your articulation(!) because it ends in mumbling every now and then (YT transcipt can't make anything out of it either)
This comment is really harsh lol. He went into great detail to explain how he came to the conclusion that it was the controller, I mean he literally had a thermal camera showing the controller overheating just to prove the point! As for the controller chip, he picked an identical chip from a donor board. Maybe it doesn't need re-programming? (did you think to ask that?). I think the video was really useful, and the only thing I wonder is how he managed to de-solder the chip so easily as @repairchannel mentioned!
Interesting. Thanks! What temperature do you use to de-solder the controller chip?
How much does a job like this cost?
Repair cost more than new drive that's for sure.
