My Potterton Puma 80 is about 8 years old and has burned the pcb where the boiler + central heating switches connect to the pcb. Is this likely to be down to a pcb fault or could it be caused by something else ?
Potties are not know for their quality pcb's, but it would not be a bad idea to get it checked out. It would be a bit of a bummer if you had to pay twice for a pcb. And then there is the safety aspect of course.
Thanks for the speedy replies, Im hoping that the new pcb boards are of better quality as I can get a new one locally for just over £100.
Again Many Thanks Folks.
Roy if this is your boiler and you are a dab hand at soldering (PCBs) why not 'flow' the solder where the connections are bad on the connection strips. Mind electricity KILLS
Yes its my own boiler and I have soldered one of the top corners on the pcb a couple of years ago but this time the board is burned beyond repair-it has slightly damaged the connector blocks from the boiler switch to the pcb and the central heating switch to the pcb (both will be replaced along with the pcb)
