Success! I attempted to measure the transformer and rectifier(s) voltage with the new board before plugging in the SC., but, I’m not real good with the multimeter, especially with live voltage. The meter only gave me .02 volts DC on the yellow wires out of the transformer when I powered it up...

I just spoke with tech support for my Optima Simple Cell salt cell (Optima Pool Technologies in Corona, CA). The tech assured me that their salt cell would not be the culprit of my melt-down. He said that, even if cross-wired or not plugged in correctly, it would not have caused a shorting or...

Once again, your expert advice is greatly appreciated, Meadow! I will test the transformer before firing up the new board and I'll try to check the other components on the old board, as well. You don't think there's any chance of the salt cell being the culprit of the meltdown, do you? I...

Thanks for the reply, Meadow. I don’t think I would feel comfortable putting that board back in, even if it were able to be repaired! I was about to order the new board, but hesitated because I wasn’t 100% sure that the GLX-PCB-RITE was the correct replacement. I, also, don’t want to spend a...
