Littleton to ________ Idk

Worked great, thanks for making the video.

I watched this video and one other 4 years ago just because it was there. Walked out to my pool equipment today and could smell burnt wire..Readout says low cell voltage. I had it apart in 5 minutes and repaired another 5 and back together in 5 more. Thanks to you and one other site. Checked today and a new pro logic mother board is $990. not including labor. I did order a new relay switch which is the item that overheats and burns up the connection pin and melts the board. $11 for that relay and will change it one day when it gets cold out. Thanks again.

I didn’t see what you fixed or how? Any other pictures? Thanks

Was trouble shooting and came across this video. I had called my pool guy and he said most likely needs a new board but also said he’s not a computer guy so he called a tech who said 98% chance it needs a new board. Figured I had nothing to lose so I pulled board out myself and had the connection soldered at a local stereo shop for $20 and I’ll be damned it fixed it. After seeing all the inquiries this should be a recall in my eyes. Just my ex two cents worth maybe one…

Anything on aqua blue 47? Have same issue haven’t unbolt it yet hoping it’s the same easy fix.

Thanks - but get a tri pod!

Worked perfect! Thank you.

This worked perfect with my Hayward Pro Logic GLX-PCB-PRO board. Same burned out contact exactly. Soldered and repaired in minutes! Thank you!

Thanks so much! You saved me big time! This was my exact issue.

What is the part number help please 😬😬

worked like a charm

Thanks Drew, you save my life....funny thing is that it was black around the solder (K1) I just sand it around and now its working A1+.....

I am a pool technician and this guy is crazy, I hear he is locked up now. Don't do this at home, pay me $1000 and I will fix it right.

Thanks for the video, this saved me a bunch of money

Thank you! Perfect diagnosis and repair details-Saved my motherboard!

Thank you! I you made it look so easy that I decided to take a swing at it. A few minutes later (and after a trip to buy a soldering iron) the cell is back in action :)

Just worked for me!!! Solder joint was bad, re-soldered and error light is now off, "No Cell Power" alert is gone, and all seems well. Thank you very much!

Totally fix mine!!! Thx for the video!!!

You saved me a ton of money. Thanks!!!

Awesome. I CANT wait to check mine. Thank u so much and I'll get back to u with a result.

Great Video!! I called a pool guy who had no clue on how to possibly save the circuit board. A waste of $95. I did the soldering and it worked. Thanks for saving me a sh*t load of money.

I had a brand new motherboard ready to do a quick swap today. When I flipped the current motherboard over and saw a burnt spot, I decided to desolder and resolder one of the K1 legs as you suggested here. 10 minutes later, bam! Power was generated to the T-Cell with readings, and the error ... gone!!!! Had to comment to thank you for saving me $$$.

Thanks a million, worked like a charm for a simple $24 for a soldering iron 👍

I followed your directions and everything worked perfect, however about 2 hours later my pool turned green. I'm not sure what to do now. If you know what has occurred let me know. Thank you!

I realize this is an old video, but does the K1 relay also need to be replaced or just a simple clean solder? We also have a burnt out solder point, no cell power.

This video just saved us a ton of $$$. Thank you so much!!

20A Fuse keeps popping, what may be the cause for this?

We just fixed mine and want to thank you for making this video the soldering did the trick and luckily we have a family friend who is an engineer and he did the soldering, replaced the fuses and has fixed some others issues. We live in a rural area by Yosemite National Park and it is not easy to find service folks for pools.

Just fixed mine. Question, the old solder was dark like burnt and almost all gone behind K1. I cleaned it up as best I could using the braid and put new solder, turned it on and it's working. I'm just a little skeptical that the repair will last. Anyone have any thoughts?

Forget the little insurance lizard...in 15 minutes, you saved me $500 bucks!! Thanks!!

I can't tell you how much I thank the Lord for sending me to your video! You def saved us $470 plus labor and tax!!

Thank you, you saved me $590. I followed exactly what you did completed it within 20 minutes and did it all with a $10 Soldering Iron I purchased at Walmart! Appreciate your post.

Thanks for this fix! 7 years later and still useful. Cant say that for many KZfaq videos. Well my day off to fix this really paid off. Another tip besides the last couple of posts (sanding to take away the molten flux or getting rid of carbonized plastic) is to add lots of rosin. The rosin will prevent the formation of a cold junction. There could be some rosin in your solder, but not enough to rework the bad connection. That is perhaps why some folks here are fixing the K1 relay over and over again. Next time it will happen to me, I will take the board off and etch or scratch the part on the PCB that makes the bad connection to this relay. It may increase the surface area for the current to go through and to make a proper weld. Now I know why they install current limiters on their boards!

OMG! Thanks dude. Worked perfect. :-)

Are any people with this issue running a genuine Hayward chlorinator? I have a generic unit that I am using and wondered if this issue with the circuit board is caused by the generic unit. Thanks.

THis fixed my issue - thanks SOOOO much !!!!

June 3, 2016 I just followed this procedure and it worked. I had been flipping breakers for an in home remodel and blew the logic board on my garage door opener as well as this issue with the pool logic board. Anyway I followed this guys video exactly and had no problems. Thanks!!!

Thank you!

Appreciate this video! I have the same problem as everyone else here. I've given it a few tries, but no luck just yet. However, I did find the old nocellpower website stored in the internet archive (a great place to find almost any website that used to exist but has since disappeared). The website is here: web.archive.org/web/20111229000028/www.nocellpower.com/ Inside the archive you can still navigate the pages, see the steps and see the pictures (and the link back to here). There is also a link to a nice video on "how to soder" store.curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder Thanks again for the post. Hopefully I'll have good news to report soon.

Amazing. My unit looked exactly like this. Borrowed a soldering iron from my Father-in-law. Sanded the contact to get rid of the oxidization. Heated it - touched the solder. Let it cool for a minute. Put everything back together and powered everything back up. I did it where it hung all connected but no power. Worked like a charge. Best feeling to see everything working and no "Service" light. Perfect tutorial. Thanks so much !

Right on and thanks again. Had the same issue again and forgot about this video. I invoked your repair previously, doing a similar soldering job (haha!) - and fixed it. Just looked at it again, chipped away carefully some of the old solder, re-did it and fixed it again. Wish there was a permanent solution. But dude - thank you for taking the time do document this. Restores my faith in humanity! :)

Wow I figured what would be the worst case scenario due to the location of the soder material... I wasn't going to touch any additional circuitry and all power was off . I borrowed a soldering iron from my neighbor who also had the proper soder materials which were designed for electronics , I gave it 4 tests for heat and the perfect puddle, and less than 10 minutes later I was up and running and I could see the amps and the salt system gaining momentum . You saved me big bucks...I I can't than you enough! Can I send booze or flowers lol

I had this problem about 2 years ago, and fixed it thanks to this video. Now it seems to be happening again! Will run off to get a souldering iron now!

Drew, I know your post is old, but it still works, oh and your soldering job is far superior to mine, but it works. Thanks

You are the Man. Had this exact problem and your Video had me up and running in about 10 minutes. Thanks so much!

I applied this method to my 2011 vintage Aqua Logic system and it worked exactly as described herein. I applaud you for sharing this valuable bit of experience and expertise. I see that you have helped many before me. I thank you equally as much as all those before me.

Nice video good job better than your soldering lol

I just used your solution to fix the exact same problem. It worked flawlessly and saved me a lot of money and frustration! Thank you very much for the tip!!

I was extremely skeptical but in less than 20 minutes I was back in business. The board smelled from the burnt connection but I heated up the ol' soldering gun and applies a generous portion of solder. I just loosed the two nuts, lifted the board, tilted it forward to a laid down position and soldered it in place. both circuit breakers off inside the box. Thanks so much!!! Working perfectly!!!
