Hey guys I’m a little curious, if you ever have a vacuum cleaner that’s one of the multifunction ones but has a circuit board issue, do you guys try to get the second board repaired or do you replace it ? Even if the boardis hard to source? as my steam vacuum had a small section of the board burn between the two pins of a triad and I’m hoping to find out if it’s repairable as I don’t wanna scrap the entire Vacuum for a single thing that went wrong

Yeah, but the thing is the manufacturer doesn’t even make | ||

That's how manufacturers roll. Circuit boards are effectively self-destruct devices, designed to burn out shortly after the warranty expires. Rapid sunsetting of such components ensure that consumers are forced to buy their latest disposable chinesium plasticrap offerings. All that said, you have nothing to lose by giving your soldering skills a workout, provided you can find the exact component(s) that need to be replaced. Be sure to un-solder what's there and thoroughly clean the contact points before soldering the replacement into place.

If circuit boards are designed properly and proven to be reliable, I see them as another simple component like a switch. Windsor for example has a circuit board that not only shuts off the machine if something got jammed in the brushroll but also shuts the machine off if it was clogged or the bag was full. It's no wonder that more commercial applications are switching out the classics like Sanitaires for Windsors because they last longer and are more user friendly, in fact that's how my grandparents got one of their Kirbys when the church upgraded from a Kirby to a Windsor. To this day that church is still using Windsors. But I'm not a fan of vacuums that uses so much circuitry where it looks like a computer inside, definitely have seen those being problematic in the short run.

Surprisingly, this thing is 15 years out of warranty
And that is the only problem I’ve had on it so I’m very happy about it, gonna head over to an electronics repair store later today and ask about it
And yeah, if a circuit board is made reliably and designed properly that’s also how I see it as well, I know it’s probably doesn’t really seem like much of a computer, but I’m thankful the thing doesn’t have a damn touchscreen | ||
