I think I fried something in my B6. I accidentaly gave it 24 volts on the input. I realised the mistake immediately and disconnected within a few seconds but alas the damage had already been done.
It didn't die but is working erratically and often doesn;t complete the charge ending in one of three ways, either 'Input Voltage Error' (even though that would be good) or 'Breakdown' shows on the display or else it just makes a short beep and the display goes blank (as if switched off). It also makes the smell of burnt transistors. I opened it up and found some visible damage, two surface mount transistors and an electrolytic capacitor. I'm hoping that those are the only things damaged and want to try replacing them but I haven't a clue what to replace them with. I'm not even sure whether they are transistors, mosfets, dual diodes or what. Any one by any chance have the circuit diagram or perhaps has repaired a charger damaged in this way? |

I would not attempt a repair. Chances are there could be some other unseen damage and you'll just be chasing your tail. I would stop using the charger immediately! It's not worth risking a Lipo fire due to a faulty charger.
For $24.99 you can buy new. OKHobby shipping is quite fast, 5-7 days and the items are in stock: http://okhobby.com/product.php?id_product=1040
