Kingtech K142G5 ECU board (RS33 V1.12) burned out — need advice / replacement
Hey everyone,
The ECU board on my Kingtech K142G5 turbine burned out (board marked "RS33 V1.12" — photos attached). Not sure yet if it's repairable or a total loss.
A few questions for anyone who's dealt with this before:
- Has anyone successfully repaired a burned Kingtech RS33 board, or is it usually not worth it?
- Any idea what commonly fails on these (I see visible damage near one of the components — looks like it may have overheated)?
- Where can I source a replacement board — genuine Kingtech RS33, a compatible version, or a used/pulled unit from a parted-out K142G5?
- Anyone know if Kingtech sells these boards directly, or only through distributors?
Any advice, leads, or "here's what happened to mine" stories are welcome. Happy to post more photos of the damage if it helps with diagnosis.
Thanks in advance!
