Furuno Radar Problem

: Seemed to be most sensitive around a big ol' many legged surface mount chip not stocked at Furuno USA. Board exchange fixed it quick enough, but not all that cheeeep. Old Chief Lynn, 20 WPM Extra (and other wallpaper) Come on, Chief! Haul out that big Weller that dims the lights when you pull the trigger and unsolder those 80-wire ICs!...(c; I took a Roland (keyboards and musical toys) tech certification course up in Charlotte so I could get paid for doing warranty repairs on their products. They were adamant at us troubleshooting these very dense computer boards with surface mount technology down to the component level. I asked, "Why? We're not going to replace anything that dense out in the field...swap the boards and let Roland fix it." One of the guys from NC wanted to go out in his truck and get HIS Weller so we could swap out a few chips on the brand new expensive keyboards Roland was showing off to the class. The Roland guy cringed and finally agreed after the Good Ol' Boys showed their hands....(c; ANY electronics, no matter how expensive, has become disposable after about 4 years, some even less, now. The companies act as if a 5-year-old electronic toy that cost $8000 never existed......corporate amnesia sets in. Larry -- Democracy is when two wolves and a sheep vote on who's for dinner.
