Don't know about the 50 HE but my Suprima cct. board failed after a service visit.

Check the solder joints with a magnifying glass where the mains connector is mounted. In my case, flow solder bath techniques did not provide enough time/heat to make sound joints.

No Tim -

The HE is completely different

I too have a Suprima question.

Apparently the "green" light sometimes comes on, boiler does not start up, and only works again when the green light is pushed. Of course, it behaved perfectly when I was there. (And it is a two-hour drive away.) Is this a symptom of the PCB issues that others have been going on about? Or have I got wrong end of stick?

Pcb or module?

You mean the reset button? Pushing the LED won't achieve an awful lot

Probably, but not really possible to say anything for definite

As Ed Sirett (ex of this parish) once said, its the only boiler where he changes the pcb then looks to see what else might be wrong

reset button really. Her eyes are somewhat challenged.

I'll email.

Flex the circuit board? ;-) Which in a Suprima, might even work...

Shredder's more the mark

Flexing a suprima pcb ?

how many pads do you think you can break away from the tracks in one go ?
