Tools:

  • No tools required.

Procedure:

  1. Inspect the removed motor controller (PCBA) for burn marks, corrosion, damaged connectors or bent pins.
  2. Inspect the heat sink contact surface for damage, corrosion or leftover thermal paste.
  3. Inspect the motor cables and connectors for damage.

CAUTION

The motor controller (PCBA) is ESD-sensitive. Handle it with care and avoid contact with PCB components. See Safety instructions.

TODO

Define the acceptance criteria for motor controller and heat sink surface damage (e.g. corrosion limits, acceptable connector wear) before deciding whether the removed parts can be reused or must be replaced.
