5. Pour into a suitable container of ethyl or isopropyl alcohol (if possible, you can use liquid
Cleaners/Defluxing for PCB). Immerse in the alcohol corner part of the Board, where the
socket external power supply 9VDC (the liquid level should be such that the power socket
was fully recessed). It is necessary to hold the Board in alcohol, and after 5 minutes rinse it
slightly.
6. Remove from liquid, allow to drain the alcohol out of the socket several times to plug and
unplug (to and fro) power supply connector. Repeat the procedure 2-3 times, but with less
dwell time of the PCB in alcohol.
Allow to fully evaporate the alcohol out of the socket, in addition it would be appropriate to use
a can of compressed air. You can then proceed to reassemble the device…
7. To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order, see 4 through 1.
Important advice!
This method of Troubleshooting the power supply from USB, does not guarantee against the
recurrence of defect. The best solution is to replace of the Power socket 5.5x2.1 mm on similar, but
higher quality. See below =>
