MicroACE lightboards ED76 9209 defect !

[Falcon]

Hi,

 

I need a new lightboard for my old ED76, released 2002 / JAN 108246

Where can I get a new one ?

 

Thanks..........Rainer

Sorry, I had a long week. I checked a bit around but I think that unfortunately the only possibility for you is to source a donor locomotive. There are quite a few cheap MicroAce ED76 on YJA.

For easier, search I'm copy-pasting the link to the search result on Buyee: https://buyee.jp/item/search/query/マイクロエース ed76/category/2084259591

If it’s just the light you could theoretically solder a new light to it.

I think the same. What is actually broken that you need a new board?

[disturbman]

It's always a possibility, but you need a bit of electronics knowledge.

Thanks all for the info.

I need a new PCB 0,5mm thickness and the two points to solder the LED etc.

 

I hope you can see the picture !

 

Thanks Rainer

the first experiment ! One light on !

I can't tell for sure from the picture but I´d check if the LED is broken. Maybe you just need a new one without replacing the whole PCB.

That light board looks pretty standard though, maybe someone with more knowledge of MA locos knows if there are replacements on the market.

Thanks Yavaris Forge,

 

but I asked MTPlus .......MA dont sell this light board.

I drive my ED76 with only one light !!😃..........Rainer

No, MA doesn't sell parts. There is a possibility to send trains back for repairs. But it's always difficult as a foreigner and I don't think they would have a spare for a model from 2002.
