Thank all of you for supporting my articles.
I try to post-share repairs which are not repeated so often
but usable all over the word.
I try to make a concept in my articles so the reader can maybe
learn something new from it, and so they can use my descriptions
on other fields of repairing too.
Thank you guys, you give me the power to write articles more
precise and better.
Thank you.

In reply to Albert van Bemmelen.

By-the-way: in addition to your previous article concerning using older
parts and tools I yesterday found an interesting use for the modern Pull
Tabs from Beverage Cans. People today are also collecting the Aluminium
Can opener Tabs to make other things with them. But I found them the
perfect tool to open your smart Phone or other Electronics Device with.
So why buy another expensive Smartphone opener Tool Set when you already
have the perfect tool for it right at your home for free!

You are a very impressive engineer Chris , its not often I am impressed but all your articles are very interesting and you go beyond most electrical engineers with your knowledge of computing / firmware / car electronics - if I had a business , you would be a valuable employee!

Good repair Chris! Thanks. I guess you also copied the serial Eeprom
content in case the Swing Gates Board(s) need a new Eeprom, since it was already on a 8 pins socket?
The ULN2003 you succesfully replaced, are also frequently found on
controller Boards from Washing Machines, Tumble Dryers and Refridgerators. Including the Relays.
But so far only the LNK304, LN305 and some 47 Ohm Resistors needed
replacement. (After the LINKSWITCH chips got short circuited the 47 Ohm
Resister burnt through. These LNK chips are Lowest Component Count,
Energy-Efficient off-Line Switcher ICs).
It is wierd that they still use Relays instead of the Modern Solid State
electronic Opto-Triac components.
