Do you make the same conclusion here?https://community.element14.com/technologies/experts/f/forum/10717/miller-maxstar-200dx-pcb-assmbly-no-247321b/238558Tue, 06 Oct 2026 07:16:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:f1d039ba-3e7b-4aab-9606-6fb0dd0fa60dacdc90I would expect there is a semiconductor that is also damaged or dead.that is directly connected to that resister. are you able to draw the circuit what is connected to that resister.https://community.element14.com/technologies/experts/f/forum/57329/i-need-a-datasheet-or-reference-of-this-chip/238556Mon, 05 Oct 2026 14:34:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:594c84f4-62ad-424c-b566-8db1760e7eebcstantonLocking duplicate thread of ARC760-B pin informationhttps://community.element14.com/technologies/experts/f/forum/10717/miller-maxstar-200dx-pcb-assmbly-no-247321b/238542Sun, 04 Oct 2026 19:58:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:c368b8bc-b322-4e84-8eb8-d3281989f6c5rapsodaQue tal, tengo la misma tarjeta con el mismo problema, tal vez encontraste el valor de la resistencia?https://community.element14.com/technologies/experts/f/forum/57322/how-to-determine-the-health-state-of-a-lipo-battery/238541Sun, 04 Oct 2026 16:41:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:369f7205-6636-4d72-af64-959d34e39961obonesAs I'm on the subject, would transferring the existing management board to a brand new battery would be worth considering? This would have the advantage of keeping the connector and the thermistor connection, but I'm not sure how safe/easy it is to do so. Note: the replacement is already ordered, this is more of a "just in case" follow up questionhttps://community.element14.com/technologies/experts/f/forum/57329/i-need-a-datasheet-or-reference-of-this-chip/238553Sat, 03 Oct 2026 08:54:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:a05b0ccc-77da-4e99-9afa-0713dd4996d9SamW1993Thank you for your effort.
