Had to take a break from all other issues to fix my Alshat Gbox..
It became unresponsive to the remote..
Didn't power up from standby on receipt of a command from any receiver..
It would sometimes overshoot position requested..
It sometimes moved on it's own with no prompting..
So I had to take it apart ...
First time of opening ..
build quality is crap...justified in calling it Alshat I think..
one of the box closure screw pillars inside decided to shear off when being unscrewed ,,
Fault traced to 470uf 50v capacitor,,
Fully dried out of electrolyte ...
Nasty glue holding it to the PCB made unsoldering and removal tricky..
Replaced cap and all is well ..
No power applied with it disconnected from the motor on Carl ..thus no realignment necessary ..
Now working just fine.
Usually I repair such things to earn a living ..but figured I'd share this one with you guys..
Don't attempt repairs of this kind unless you are confident.
...it's the one with brown staining on top ..just behind the motor spring clip connectors.
