Batboard

Dear All,

I hava a XTS2500 VHF working board with some problems.

1. Problem with the Display Flex Cable Connector


1 contact (6th pin) is missing. Do I need it in order to make sure the LCD or keypad full working?
If I need it, where can I tap it?

2. Where can I get this 45 Pin Socket?



3. RTC Positive Pin pulled Out from PCB



How to fix it?


Hope you guys can help me.


Thanks

two words:
depot repair

Yup. Flat rate to Mexirola. I have the tools to fix that, but it wouldn't be reliable for commercial service.

Hows that?

Need to send to mototola anyway?

Anybody have the xts2500 circuits or detailed schematic?

You can download the full manuals, schematics and circuit board images directly from MOL.

Unless you are very skilled and this is NOT a commercial service radio or one you would be selling to some unfortunate person, the ONLY recommended course is to send it to the factory for repair. You will (most probably) end up with a brand new board, since the engineering cost of this radio for Motorola is under $100, they can afford to replace it.

Chances of getting the requisite parts might be there, but those flex connectors are hard to get, some aren't available, and putting them on is extremely delicate without the right micro tools to do it. A hot air focused heat debonder is definitely required, and patching the missing feedpoints in the board will/may prove difficult, depending on what Motorola chooses to divulge on the board overlay, if anything.

I haven't delved into the board overlays too much, as the radios seem to mostly work without a bunch of major damage, and anything that damaged is usually a result of the radio being run over, and gets sent to the factory.

I dont have MOL account as I from Malaysia. Try to register with them for few times, but rejected.

Perhaps somebody out there can help me with the documents.

Yes, you are right, it not easy to repair it. But I have basic electronics skill & plann to do it myself if no choice.
