Peavey was no help to me when this happened in 2007. I had wished they might have some NOS motherboards that would just pop in. Anyways, I spent a night under bright light and with some 22 gauge wire and put humpty back together again. I consider this success to have been nothing more than luck- you're right the damage can be extensive.
Had some Hi res shots but they were claimed in a HD failure last year.
Take your time and give it a try, it's a nice controller. I was just playing my Xpander from it moments ago- brilliant.[w]

Date: Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 5:59 PMAnyone have any service information on this controller? The NiCd leaked real bad on the motherboard. I think there are probably several runs destroyed but it's hard to trace since they are all short runs to vias. I'm assuming I'll have to lift all the affected pins and wire them up off-PCB. I've never seen a NiCd cause so much damage. It's destroyed runs on both the front and back.
Schematics, diagnostics, PCB artwork ... anything?
