I don't even have any of the new leadless solder yet. I wonder if all of
the new ROHS boards are labeled somehow as such. This would be good to
know. I suppose i am going to have to buy some new seller tips and
dedicate a solder station to ROHS use.

Looks like soldering anything with lead free solder leads to premature
failure of the joint - it`s a catastrophe.

Hi Ron. If the unit's serial number starts with the letter "S", it is an
RoHS-compliant unit. That would also mean it is new enough to be under
warranty, and all repairs should be covered by BEHRINGER.

You can utilize the New-for-Old warranty option via the participating EU
dealers listed here:

Or contact one of our authorized repair centers for the EU here:

Please drop me a line if I can help in any way.

Best Regards,

Jim

Sadly no, it starts with N, I`ve had it a few years. It`s been a good
unit and doesn`t owe me anything

It`s worked fine since I took the lid off, almost certainly a dry joint
in the psu or one of the headers. When I get some time to devote to it,
I`ll go in deep and let you all know the result.

Yes two, plus a mini loom from the psu to the main board which is the
one I suspect. the headers are held in with hot melt glue. I`ll post the
outcome when I get a round tuit.
