Hello TFPs! My Pentair EasyTouch8 wireless controller is stuck on "NO COMMS" and I can't relink it. I believe the antenna board, Pentair 520949 (AKA 520946) has failed, which seems very common when searching online. The POWER LED is on solid red, and the 485 LINK / RF LINK LEDs flash red 6 times followed by a single flash of 485 LINK.
Given the ridiculous price to replace these (I'm an EE who designs production hardware and can say the production cost of these would be $10 - $30 each) and high failure rate, I'm wondering if anybody has figured out how to repair these? I can dig into it, but before spending a bunch of time reverse engineering and debugging, I'm hoping that somebody has already done that and can share what the failing component is.
Thank you!
PS: I'm hoping to eventually score a decent deal (<$350) for a ScreenLogic2 520500 adapter on EBay as a longer term solution, but the remote is handy for kids and guests.
