Emergency! Help Needed!

[ascenion24]

So I got my car back form the mechanics today, RWC done...

Have it booked in tomorrow for the pits at vic roads.

Was playing around tonight with my techedge wideband controller and I possibly touched a wire to something I wasn't suppose to.

Long story short I fried the ecu.

Opened it up, smelt that blown up component smell.

Found the problem, now I just have to figure out what it was, Im thinking possibly a diode?

Then i need to replace it first thing tomorrow morning, hook it back up to the car and drive to vic roads.

Except I dont know what the component was!!

If anyone can look in there ECU for me, or knows what this is, or knows of a board schematic I will be extremely grateful.

EDIT: looking closely at it, it looks like its just a track that has burnt out and come up, if someone can confirm this i will just solder a jumper over the top.

it's toast dude, not worth fixing given that you can buy a stock ecu for $10 usually

find someone local in your state to loan you one for tomorrow

post in your local chapter offering free beer for a loan of a stock ecu

Looks to me like there was some kind of surface mount component there, Main power line? Possibly a diode? Was it floating around in the case or evaporated in a puff of smoke? Shame to ditch the whole ecu over a diode.

dude its a $10 ecu, there's no shame about ditching it....

ohok man that sucks, what cars it out of? r33 gtst? mayb hunt the wreckers in the morning?

[ascenion24]

thats ok,i fixed it. Was just a track that was blown out. So soldered in a jumper and all good.

I dont care about the price (even though it was a free fix now)

The fact is the car is not registered and I have a vic roads appointment tomorrow for the car. Anyways like I said all good now.
