I repair farming equipment for a living. This is the mainboard module (two PCBs in a sandwich) for a portable, industrial, scale that had serious corrosion issues due to battery neglection (ie. it leaked). Heavy cleaning, a lot of kynar wires on both sides and 4h later I finally got it working.3yr ⋅ gurksallad ⋅ r/electronics
I repair farming equipment for a living. This is Opti-5, an onboard computer for a Ponsse logging harvester. EOL, no spare parts. Ponsse wants you to upgrade to Opti-7 which cost $9k. I made it live by replacing two dead 50W regulators and saved the customer about $7k.3yr ⋅ gurksallad ⋅ r/electronics

I repair farming equipment for a living. This is Opti-5, a $6000 onboard computer for a Ponsse logging harvester running an embedded version of Windows XP (small board to the right). The culprit: a dead 5V/10A regulator (worth $75).4yr ⋅ gurksallad ⋅ r/electronics
I repair farming equipment for a living. This is the controller for a Kuhn trough feeder which broke down and caused an emergency.
