Hi,
Just la little "heads up" for JJ costumers. We have received several ecus for repair sold by JJ as "genuine", but in fact they are copies of our model 2005. They had took seriously the copy thing, copied my name, scanned our company sticker, etc, but nobody is perfect nor is Mr. Jeff Wong, (AKA Joe) and his gang. In order to help you in to recognize the fake ecus, below you have a couple of pictures that you can check before sending your ecu to us, that of course, will not be serviced.
Externally the differences are:
Thick transparent shrink wrap.
Sticker printed by a inkjet printer.
Copyright readings misplaced. See pictures below, this is the easiest detail to check.
There are more internal differences that is not possible to check without removing the shrink wrap, but some easy to check are:
In JJ copy the components are hand soldered, ours are machine soldered
Capacitors in JJ are of black color, ours blue.
No serial number printed on the PCB on JJ copy.
Datecode on components in genuine ecus are of 2005 (0503) , on copies are dates from 2006. We manufactured this model only in 2005, so it is impossible to have any of our ecus with datecodes older than 2005.
Easy to see the difference, on the copied one there is no space between the "y" and the "G" in "by G.Espiell"
On top side, in the original is possible to see the second zero of the "2005", in the copy only the "5" is visible.
BRG,
Gaspar
