Baxi Solo2 boiler

I guess the capacitor would be easily tested, by lifting one leg out of circuit and measuring resistance to see if it charges/discharges.

Would you agree guys ?

might be if you had a clue which one, and how to test it

wow

heavy stuff

just change the effing PCB and be done with it

As I said you would try to charge the cap using a little current from the meter, hope this makes sense to you.

I havent counted the cap's but i suspect it would be the same faulty cap when repairing identical Solo's

You should stay away from looking at pcbs

.....why should I stay away ?.

Are you qualified?

It doesn't strike me that you have sufficient appreciation of what's involved to go meddling with CH pcbs at a component level

Of course I am,

I guess this is now a pointless thread.

Oh and I dont tend to "meddle" with charged caps/circuitry.

The problem is that you don't know what does what on the pcb

What do you mean ?

If you trying to say, I dont know which cap would be the faulty one, then you're correct.

I assumed you would have a good idea, and a cap number etched onto the PCB.

Its a simple matter of finding a faulty component, which i feel i am very capable of doing.

If you have specific information where possible faulty cap might be, why not spill the beans, someone may have a PCB ready to test your information.

It's not that simple, there are a number of completely different build standards of the Solo 2

... and the answer is "no"

Ok cheers Raden,

Im just trying to get some baxi circuit diagrams on PDF.

This would obviously narrow down the component area in question.

Cheers

Interconnection diagrams are in the manual, circuit diagrams for the pcb - no chance ... apart from the fact that there are 4 (or 5, if you include the Solo 3) different designs

Sorry If I went in a bit hard

Yes i was hoping for actual circuit diagrams.

wish me luck then

I would be on dubious legal territory putting such a thing out in the public domain

Sorry, I though you were a CORGI having a go
