How To Fix Life Size Freddy Krueger Circuit Board

My Freddy Krueger was working fine and then all of a sudden the animated Freddy stopped working. I opened the base of the figure and I noticed that there were some points on the circuit board was blown or burned out. I tryed to take back the figure back to Spencers and they said they didn't have anymore so they gave me the figure for $20.00. So I couldn't say no, so I contacted Gemmy and they said they didn't have replacement parts or give me the schematics of the board so a friend of mine to fix it but they said they didn't have anything to give me. I am going to take a shot in the dark hear and hope someone can post a fix it job for me or a copy of the board for me. I will post the photos of the board for you and I hope you can help me, thanks.





On the bottom Photo there is a resistor on the left blown and number C22 and Q23. If there is anything else please let me know it will greatly be appreciated, thanx.

I know this is a bit off topic but can you post some pics of this thing it SOUNDS COOL.

I have a friend who is an expert in stuff like that I will ask him if he can assist you in any way shape or form.

I was just trying to upload the photos, just double click on the photo and it will show a close up of the photo. I hope your friend can help me.

It looks like you had a capassitor short out on the PCB maybe, there also may be a bad resistor right next to the cap. on the back side of the PCB it looks like there may have been some cold solder joints on or about the location of the cap. ( connected to pin 16 of U1).

Would it be possible to get a clearer picture of the area where the damage is. Looks like around C4, R13, R12?

If you double click on the photo it will become close up. If that doesn't help let me know I'll post another Photo, thanx.

Here are more photos just doulbe click on them to see a closeup of them and I don't know the color of this resistor. If someone has a Freddy Krueger PLEASE take a picture of the circuit board and send me the picture greatly appreciated, thanx.

I emailed my friend no response yet he's probably asleep if he has any knowledge of how to fix your problem I will let you know.

You may have had a motor lock up on you and that caused a load on that resistor causing it to burn up. you may have to figure out what motor that is controling and check it. If you replace it and dont fix the problem it will only happen again.
