Ebay Chinese Routers (CNC3040) - anyone purchased one of these machines recently?

Going to double check wiring and report back , but description of after `repair` action not entirely accurate.

It did same as it was doing , i.e. random reverse of commanded jog, then wirked properly for about 3 seconds before smoking the driver.

If anyone is familiar with the YOO CNC boards , take it green LED is +V supply and red is something to do with step, very flickery red LED on dying board just before smoking.

(edit) Now got a spare on the way thanks to another member :-)

Anyone know where i can obtain the original spindle motor carbon brushes from ? (other than waiting from china)

They are approx 6mm x 3mm x 10mm

Haven`t tried them yet but http://www.solenttools.co.uk stock a wide range of not cheap brushes.

Thanks, looking at them this morning, trying to find a camera that works to send them a pic!
