Repairing Accuscore II Camera's

[BobbyO]

Trying to go through my bad cameras and I have a bunch of em that don't score correctly. I can repair the broken molex plugs which the common issue is a bad solder joint, but what causes the camera to not score correctly? I'm thinking the chip on the board, but I figured I'd throw it out there to see if anybody has tried this in the past. Usually I send them to Qubica, But for 300$ a pop that's a bit out of my scoring budget. FYI I have like 8 chips that I know to be good from when I converted my high side lanes over to blacklight. Am I going to spin my wheels for nothing? Or is a chip failure common in a mis-soring case?

I have seen many issues with scoring errors when someone has mixed and matched the boards in the cameras. I was told the boards are calibrated to each other at the factory and mixing them can cause issues.

I have never solved a scoring issue by changing the chip...has this helped you on any of the cameras? (Besides installing for the ability to work in blacklight)

Something to think about with the Molex connectors for the main power into the camera...support the plug going into the camera with a block of wood or a rubber pad...this way the weight of the plug is on the support instead of being held up by the plug in the camera. I will try to get a picture of one of my old ones and post it here.

Nah.. Changing the chip didn't work for me. I used a piece of cushion pad to support the plug and that's good.. Eh.. I was just trying to save a camera if I could. I guess I'll be sending them to Qubica a bit at a time. And FYI the new part number for these cameras are 244-001-125R. Exchange comes to 377$
