Re: Moose Z1100 Problems

[target_decoy@xxxxxxxxx]

Well I took apart the circuit boards as you detailed.  Sure enough,
the back side of the right sub-board is fried!  Black.  Toasted.  I
doubt any amount of solder & wire will be able to fix it, so it looks
like I need a new board.

I'd greatly appreciate any help finding a replacement sub-board.
Hopefully Mr. Rojas or Mr. Moose can help.  Also, it sounds like
another guy that replied may have on old one, if it's not fried, too.
(Or if he hasn't sold it as a boat anchor.)

Thanks!!!!
