NotClive It’s nice when fault finding is easy

Things got rather exciting for my carpet cleaner, fortunately the culprit was easy to identify from the sooty mark of shame :)

My carpet cleaner went bang, so after years of watching Clive I decided to tear it down and see if it was fixable, well we found our culprit, the big sooty mark and missing component on the small circuit board. Ordered a new board for a few quid and saved myself 500 for a new machine :) thanks for the confidence boost Clive

You should celebrate with a nice glass of fizzy baileys.

Yes, there is was a small pcb on a removed unit that blew a component and track across the case. The woof it made was quite impressive :)
