ECU Repair for 2004 Yamaha sx230

[Boatster]

I have a bad ECU on my yamaha sx230. Looking to get repaired if possible. Is there an ECU repair place in the US outside of Carmo?

if I am unable to get repaired, where is the best place to get a new one in the US? Are they plug and play also or is programming needed on a new one? Thanks!

what are you symptoms that lead you to a bad ECU ?
Do you have a YDS unit ?

 

[Boatster]

Evaluated by dealer and said ECU bad. Wanted $1500 to replace.
How long does it take with Carmo? Do you send it to Carmo USA or directly to Netherlands?

I had one repaired by Carmo. You send to an address in California and I believe they send them in batches to the Netherlands about every 2 weeks. Turnaround time was about 1 month from mailing it out. I now need the same repair on my other computer. If I had overnighted it to CA it may have been done in time for a big family trip. I chose to order a new ECU that I hope to have next week then I'll get the bad one repaired for a spare or resale. Costs me more but keeps me and the rest of the family happy. I'm not aware of anyone else that does this repair. There is another website, www.rectifierrepair or something like that but I believe it's the same folks. There is no programming needed, whether you buy new or get repaired it's plug and play. You can do the removal and install yourself with basic hand tools. It will take 2 people to remove the box that holds the ECU from the back wall of the engine bay. I'm curious if you find water in that box. I found a decent amount of water with my first failure but almost none with the second failure.

No matter in the box for me. Did you pay the $539 or whatever up front or just the $85 diagnostic fee?

also, where did you buy a new ECU? Going to do the same as you buying new and having a backup.

When I did it last year I think I paid the diagnostic and if they find it does need repairs they will charge the additional amount. I haven't done it yet this year as mine just failed Monday while on vacation. I'm home now but haven't taken the time to send out this second one. I ordered from Partzilla. They were cheapest. When I ordered on Tuesday it said ships in 2-3 days. Got an email yesterday saying it should ship Monday. Praying that is the case and there are no crazy delays but you never know for sure anymore.
