Title: realforce pcb smell
Post by: rf86u on Thu, 23 April 2020, 23:20:16

When I disassembled my realforce 87u, the pcb smelled "burnt", "chemical", "unpleasant", I bought the board used but condition is very good. I can't see anything burnt on the pcb though. The smell is still pretty strong and persistent after I put together the board. My 86u, purchased new, doesn't have that.

Does anyone have similar experience?
