Repairing a Jetcat ECU

the one you blew up is almost 100% capacitor.
some of the ECU,s V10 dont like the high voltage.
most of the time it will freeze the serial bus , and reports : no fuelpump connected.
the capacitors are very close to the max voltage running when using 3S packs (life or lipo or Lion).
remove the burned part , buy a higher voltage capacitor external and solder it in place the external one will fit between the pcb,s.
Seems like a 25V 33uf will do the trick but I strongly suggest using the recommend voltage for this ecu.

Hi all
i have the same ecu 5.0v and i was trying to start my engine when i notice a smok coming from the ECU so i take it a part and notice the no1 in the Picture was burn so i take it to my frinde to check it for me and he ask me to git another one so he can replace it . also hey find the no2 in Picture its short also. hey ask me to replace it too.
is that mine it have to do somthing togither .
also what is the part no for no1 in Picture .
and from wher i can order them pls.
thanks in advans

The pulse width applied to the gate controls the amount of conduction between the Source and Drain. the source and drain turn on separate MOSFETS to control speed of the turbine start motor and the ceramic igniter. The greater the duty cycle the faster the motor turns on and the igniter glows red like a stove top and ignites the kerosene!
The 4463 P channel MOSFET will overload and burn out if to many start attempts are made back to back. The data sheet for this chip, shows the duty cycle limits. Think about it, the ECU has to supply high current demands by the start motor and the Kerostart plug. A heat sink should have been placed atop that 4463B.

Hi from portugal (i´ve been there, done that). the small burned thing is a regulator (type ams1117-?) they come in various voltages the one i changed was a fixed 5v one. It provides the power for the esc itself (i think it´s also the bec part). I tried one i took from a used Main board from a pc (busted but modern).
is the burned component a 5V reg or is it a 456 transistor?
the problem is his really caught fire and burnt the tracks.
any chance anyone can tellme where toconnect the tracks of the regulator?
thanks.

Dont apologise about using old thread this is where you should post so information is kept together,
on this subject did you look at/read the posts/pictures above, I have posted ones so have others, there are also some circuit diagrams,
from what I can see your board seems to be a v4, the v5 pics posted dosnt have that component on bottom left, which I think is a 5v reg but not sure.
