First of all, because of the cost. Although the ECUs are available at a fair price, shipping rates to Norway double the cost and finally I'll end up with 25%VAT on the total value, shipping included.
Second, the initial repair has been done poorly (when the component hasn't been mounted where it should be - 1.5mm away from, instead of flush with the heat sink. )
I have identified the issues, and the only thing I need help with regarding them, is finding the proper component.
The paths and solder points need to be redone, and that's about it.
Changing the component in question is a quick fix as soon as I find the replacement. All the preparations are done as in removing the patty material and fixing the paths.
So the math is simple, $150- 200 + for a used ECU ($400+ for a new one ) vs a new transistor and soldering on my spare time.
