You could bypass the burnt out part by soldering on a direct link between the nodes with the appropriate Voltage cable.

Hi Wiley

Call Martyn, he'll advise..

albob

as kedlstone suggests, solder a in wire link or you can even but special 'paint' to remake the connection - BUT - I would be more concerned as to why the track has gone. Hard to tell from the photos, but it looks 'burnt'....... (?)

As albob said, i would be looking into WHY this has happened to the track on the circuit board. Yes, it is easily fixed with a wire or re-soldering the track, but there may be a component on the board gone down which has caused this, or an issue with your cars wiring.

I am sure I read a post about a burnt circuit and Simtek idle relatively recently ?

done the same with my simtek ecu but it was caused by the battery being put on the wrong way sent it to steve stimpson and he sent it away and was told it is no good,
so had to pay for another to be fitted.but ring steve stimpson and he will advise you best as if mine was not as bad they could of just replaced the broken connection

Repair the track - simple.

Use a low power wire link - so, it burns out if it has to.

If it doesn't even get warm, beef it up and BINGO!

PCB's can always be repaired - but, manufacturers like to sell you another, of course!

Usually on SimTek are burned injectors drivers,not sure if this is sorted,but I would speak with MartynJ for sure about this
