MineLab Sovereign GT disc repair????????

[peter morgan]

Hi there Peeps can anyone shed some light on this matter I have a GT and wish to replace the the DISC controller which is part number RT103 on the circuit board. This is the pot controller, what I need to know is the circuit board a multi layer board where I can not remove the pot or is it a straight solder and replace job. Also can anyone tell me the values of the POT for me to buy a replacement thank all best wishes from peter ([email protected])

27 kOhm measured. though do not know a real value, do not see a marking at it.

Easy to change, if you can handle a soldering iron then no problem.

Hi there Plumabob are you saying it just a quick soldering job in that it not a multi layer circuit board??????

[kt315]

Pit, where are you from? if you are in UK Sean Goddard will fix up your problem speedy and well.

Peter,

Not sure what you mean about a multi layer board. There's a front and a back, nothing in between. 3 holes 3 pins..... simple job.

Peter we can measure pot and order a replacement then replace. Happy to help but from what I've seen so far your skill with iron is well up to the job.

sorry not at a computer all the time have family and work pets and so on I am very thankful for all the help I get hope I have not unset any people

[peter morgan]

Okay if the board is a bog standard circuit board that changing the POT is no problem for me Woodbob if you know the resistance of the POT then I would buy one from you yet again thank you all for your help

[peter morgan]

Okay PEEPS lots of good help here but has anyone ever got the true ohms value of the disc pot as I want to make this change over a one step process to reduce possible damage to the board

[kt315]

true Ohms... 30-100 KILO OHMS = 30.000-100.000 = 30 000 - 100 000 Ohms.

please if you are feeling that your level in this f-ng sh-t electronics is zero ask anybody technician among your neighbour.
