Mod1 mm no lights and no tones???

[rootar]

I called castle and talked to them for about 20 minutes, they're pretty sure it has nothing to do with arthurs work and are willing to take it in under special circustances for repair to my controller for the $50 fee of course i told them i did not want a new mm replacement just this particular one fixed if possible (since it already has the mod1 done and i know it works great) so after i hear from artur i will either send it to him if he wants to take a crack at it or if he doesnt i will send it to castle, hopefully someone can trace down what ever went out and i can get it fixed, i really apperciate castle trying to help as much as possible.

but since i aint heard from artur yet and i have tried everything possible externally someone tell me how to take this thing apart and ill take pictures and see if we cant find it so ill already know what went out and if maybe i could fix it or if i need to send it off.

There are 2 tiny hex-head screws; one on the end near the power wires near the corner of the heatsink, and one near the caps (may have to remove the heatsink wrap). This is from memory so you have to look a bit if that's not all...

just to check the wires for the switch? did you jump them by the switch ? maybe one of them broke by the esc?

im cleaning trucks up right now im gonna start on it later tonight and ill let you guys know.

but even if the switch wires did go bad closer to board wouldnt i atleast get a light when i plug it into the computer? becuase i dont get any lights when i plug it up to the CP

well after i got the esc out and began to take it apart, i decided to pull the wire loom off and what do ya know when i pulled the wire loom off guess what came with it the negative switch wire i cant really get to it good with out taking it apart but once i get it soldered back on maybe ill be in business agian, should i just solder the wire back on and leave the tail for the switch (about 3 inches of the black and red wire) or shoul i just wack that off and put a tiny little direct jumper wire between the two terminals on the board?

lets keep the fingers crossed and hope this is what it is and that i didnt just pull it off when i was trying to get the pesky loom off.

thanks for the help and input it was just a dumb switch, i removed both wires and just jumpered it on the board, works great agian.
