Zoomer Dino Boomer Main Circuit Board Replacement

Difficulty

Difficult

Steps

Time Required

20 - 35 minutes

Introduction

This guide shows how to safely separate the main circuit board from the remainder of Zoomer Dino Boomer so that it can be replaced without damage to the electrical system.

Tools

Step 1

Power off Zoomer Dino Boomer before disassembly.
Remove the eight 9.3mm Phillips #1 screws.

Step 2

Turn dinosaur over and hold upright.
Use the spudger to pry apart the back cover from the remainder of the Zoomer Dino Boomer.
Be gentle while removing the back cover. The back cover of the Zoomer Dino Boomer is still connected to the electronic system by a wire.

Step 3

Disconnect the wire that connects the back cover of the dino to the main circuit board by carefully pulling on the orange wire connector with tweezers.
Remove back cover.
If you are having difficulty removing the connector from its socket, push in the small tabs on the side of the connector with the tweezers. This step may take some work.
Do not damage the wires or circuit board.

Step 4

Use tweezers to remove all of the colored wire connectors from their sockets on the circuit board.

Where can i find the circuit board to purchase?

Would like to know what is wrong with the circuit board. Is it a bad capacitor, computer chip or other electronic component? Or is it a cracked circuit board? If it is a cracked circuit board, they can be fixed if you solder a wire across the brake in the printed circuit. I save 1 or 2 bad cables from computer accessories and some USB cables for the small thin wire for some of the small stuff. That repair can be difficult if it is a small packed board. But I've repaired many cracked circuit boards from dropped items by soldering a wire across the brake. If it is a component like a capacitor, they can be de soldered and replaced. I had a capacitor go bad in the ECM of my truck, took 30 minutes to replace it. But it took a whole day to R&R the ECM.

But these are great instructions to repair this toy!

Is there a way to look at the dinosaurs code?
In other words, how it runs?
I´m having one for 5 years now and would like to create a digital copy.
It´s a private project and i alrerady finished the 3D Model.
If you know anything about this topic or someone familiar with that, please reply.
Thank you in advance
