Haha, that's because "techs" nowadays are a step above trained monkeys. Their solution to everything is either buy a new board, or trash the welder. Until welder manufacturers switch to surface mount technology, there is a whole generation of circuit boards in these welders that have easily...

Most of the others are reading, but that particular one is not giving a readable response. I might not be gettting clear of the coating, or i have...
