Thanks. I actually reached out to Chris, because he has opened this particular EVSE before, and may know what it's going to take to replace the board....As was said, it might just be a screwed rather than a soldered connection, which would be easier for me to deal with myself.The catch is that the wires are pretty large diameter. That can be harder to solder than small wiring. Forum member Chris TX has a lot of experience tearing into EVSEs and soldering these wires. I think he even has a tutorial posted here on converting the 2013 EVSE to level 2, which involves soldering.
Thanks so much wBronze. If I strike out nearby (in DC area), I'll be back in touch for sure. Now that I looked more closely I'm hoping the J connector is just acting up. I just used a plastic tool to open up some of the connectors a bit. When I opened it up it looked like the Board itself and its connections to the wires was ok but I don't have a way to actually test it to know for sure....I'll advise, and thanks again for the offer.Marcus M, PM me. I repair and solder mil-spec parts for the DoD. High reliability soldering certification. I'll do it for free if you're close by or if you want to mail it and of course pay the shipping.
We use PRC 2000's and the NAVSEA 00-25-259 soldering workmanship standards (that's a technical order/manual, same as nasa uses for whatever that's worth). It would help me out to repair it for you because I'm considering buying some evse equipment myself and I wouldn't mind seeing the original workmanship standards/quality of the circuit card/cards before buying myself.
