PFC repair other than Apexi?
I just got word form Apexi that they won't fix one of the two PFCs that I sent to them because it's been modified. It has the pins that go to nothing removed. Is there another place that repairs them?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Did they mention what the issue was?
I bought one that was sent off and they didn't want to fix it, opened it up, turns out a few traces on the board where severed. Soldered them up and where good to go.
An electronics repair shop would possibly be able to fix it if it's an obvious problem.
It all depends.

Just heard back... "It was in Australia and I don't recommend using them. They took nine months! When I called him prior to sending it he said it would take a week. I recommend sending it to Apex directly. If they don't do it I guess he has no other choice but to send it to Austria. The guy is Trent Whyte at Mercury Motorsport. trent at mercurymotorsport dot com dot au "

Update. I had the PFC repaired by Peter Florance at PFTuning.com. He did a great job. Good communication and the price was the same as Apexi. The turn around time was about a month but I did tell him to take his time on it as I wasn't in any hurry.

I knew he'd be able to fix it. He repaired your Power FC without a schematic. He's also VERY honest and methodical. Peter is brilliant when it comes to electronics, nobody is better. Glad your PC is fixed.

i have a customer going through the same hoops with Apexi who got a PFC with the pins removed by SR motorsports. if you have them install a PFC tell them to NOT remove the pins from the ECU otherwise Apexi will not touch the unit if you ever need to have them repair it.

Im having a problem as well and would like to see if this has happened to anyone:
My commander as of two days ago decided to quit turning on fully(stuck on Apexi screen), so I hooked a Datalogit up to no avail either. The FCBOX lights up, but I'm getting no reading from the ECU. Opened the PowerFC up and nothing looked burned or f-ed up. Car runs as it did before the problem.
Anyone? Lol

I talked to PFtuning and also Apexi and one of the PFC I can send to Apexi.. other one, I'm going to let PFtuning take a look. Since my case the wires were crossed so I'm going to find out which wires and send it over next week.
