Does anyone know where I can get a replacement pcb for the XM plip (1991, key folds back into plip) in
the UK at a reasonable price, or what the price is from a dealer. If I call and ask I may have a heart
attack!
====
When I bought one 2 years ago I paid about 44 ukp for it they will need the code No and they have to
order them .mine has stopped working when I got it wet the next one will be covered in tape to keep it
dry.

I started this plip thread so now I can give it a happy ending (for me anyway).
I removed all the through-hole components from the PCB and pressed down the pins of the surface
mount chips with a fine soldering iron. I brushed the board clean to get rid of any salts and replaced the
leaded components.
Hey presto - it works again (for how long I don't know).
BTW when it was not working the red LED stayed on for about twice the length time it does when it is
working.
