Thermo scientific bought my company out and made 40 of us redundant in 1 day so I automatically hate their equipment !! but good work on your part and interesting video.....cheers!!
I'm so sorry to hear that Andy. I've seen these large lab equipment companies like Thermo do that. They will literally buy small companies just to get the rights to a piece of equipment they've manufactured and then they will slap their name on it. It sucks because I bet the original companies probably provided much better support. Well if it is any consolation, I hope this video eats into their equipment servicing revenue 😂😂
Hello Brother I am facing a problem with XC164CS Installed on the TC11O Turbo Pump controller. the problem is that when we command it to run the pump it does not work but when we press it a little bit it starts working slowly but not properly we checked the connections of the pin and soldering and it is fine but we can't figure out the problem might be some damage inside so when we press it a little bit it starts working please help me
hey! So I am not familar with the TC100 turbo pump controller at all. I assume it is an electronic driver for a pump? Anyways, I can only speak to your issue in very general terms. Just because it has a XC164CS doesn't mean I can tell you much about your issue. Microcontrollers are designed to be versatile; how they work depends heavily on how they are programmed. What do you mean by press it? Do you mean when you press on the XC164CS? If that is what you mean, then there could be a few things going on here. It could be that you have some cold solder joints on the pins to the chip. You can do a visible inspection of the pins using a 10x or greater microscope (even a magnify glass would suffice) and check to ensure the pins are soldered properly. You can reflow the solder to be safe. You can also check each pin for continuity with a multimeter but you have to be careful there because even pressing on the pin with a test lead could cause it to make contact with the pad giving a false reading. Alternatively, pressing on the micocontroller and causing it to work could have nothing to do with the micro at all. It could be that you are just flexing the entire PCB and that is causing some other faulty connection somewhere on the board to work. So you want to do a visual inspection of the entire board. If it turns out the issue is related to something internal to the microcontroller, you can follow this video to see if you can still interface with micro via UART to USB using the Infineon software. If you can, you should be able to flash the existing micro (if it is not read protected) and then replace it with a new one and reprogram. Good luck!
Interesting notations of your work.
thank you Joel!

@@fmashockie LOL! I appreciate your efforts :) !!
First of all, I would like to thank you for the help you gave me with this video. I just can't get memtool 2021, can you please send it to me?
Glad you found it helpful! Link for downloading MemTool is in the description
so you have to take off that boot to undo a connection to get the pcb out?
Yep thats correct!
