I did this yesterday and it worked totally perfect. I agree that it is not necessary to remove the circuit board from the box. Just loosen it, as described, and just tilt it forward, with all the wires still attached (except for the display). I then had to add solder and the I used a solder sucker (Radio Shack, $10) to remove the solder to clean the burned hole. I did that several times until the hole was very clean. Then I added a lot of solder and filled the hole. If I had a little heat sink, I would have soldered it on top, but I did not have one. It works perfect. Thanks for a savings that is sure to save me hundreds every few years. And saved me from lots of time, trouble and frustration. thanks for posting the photos on this web site. I could not have done it without your photos.
ReplyDeleteI have been fighting a no cell power issue on my Aqua Logic system for about two weeks. After trying numerous suggestions from the local pool supply store, the manufacture and various tips found on the internet I stumbled upon this. I followed these directions and sure enough I had a bad solder joint which I cleaned and soldered and my problem was solved.
ReplyDeleteI cannot thank you enough for posting these instructions, it literally saved my hundreds of dollars!!! Steve C.
Thank you so much for this information. I came home from work yesterday and had the "No Cell Power" error message. Today I fixed my system following your instructions. I really have to wonder why Hayward doesn't fix this problem....except it generates cash for them.
ReplyDeleteI have same problem with "No Cell Powere" this morning. Thank-you so much for this informantion. Please this site posted all time. Hayward are one of the greedy corporations that do not care about there client.
ReplyDeleteI commented at the beginning of this post, but I have to say again...THANK YOU!! Same errors and issues as above, and your posting was such a blessing! Happy Summer!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Hayward gave me the usual call a tech 40% pro rata 3yrs 6m old, just had to buy a new cell as that gave up last month. It took me 20 mins start to finish. I also did not remove the board fully. My soldering is not a work of art but hey it works and is not visable anyway. I also believe Hayward should recall the boards.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, just did this with my brothers help(he is more handy than me and has soldering experience). Took about 30 minutes start to finish, that was with reading the instructions and watching the soldering video. Saved me $850 from what the pool company was going to charge me. I was one month over warranty and they wouldn't cover any of it for me.

Just need to add that the K1 solder joint issue is not only tied to a "cell no power" fault. My diagnostic message began as "low temp" when my water temp was 80F then changed to "Check Salt Level" and my salt was verified at 3200PPM. I decided to check the K1 anyway and discovered I had the issue. A little resoldering and my cell powered right up! So I recommend all faults that do not allow the cell to power up check the K1. Thanks again!

Sooooo freakin stoked to have found this site. Just completed my repair and all appears to be working fine. I had thought there might be some sort of "fuse" issues in the board as I could hear things click on and click right off again when power went to the cell so I was headed to the right area but wouldn't have been sure what to do next without this info. THANKS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat info! Luckily my system is only 2 years old and still under warranty. I have the same problem, though tried to solder and it didn't seem to fix it though my soldering wasn't the best and the burn out seemed a lot larger than your picture.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I did all that last night and it works fine now
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this information! Word needs to get out. It has been 3 years with my system and same problem at same joint occured. Unfortunately, I paid a technician $560 bucks to diagnose and fix. He said he sees this frequently. Wish I would have found your site a couple of days earlier! How does one clean the solder joint before resoldering? Thanks, Rick, Orlando, FL
ReplyDeleteMy husband went to Radio Shack, bought the soldering iron for under $10, did exactly what was posted here and IT WORKS PERFECTLY!! Thank you so much for posting this, we would have been out $500 otherwise!! Anyone can do this, if your Goldline says "No Cell Power" try this first!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your pictures and comments. It almost would cost me over $800 to fix the same problem, if I would not read your article and postpone for 3 hours the "professional help." That was close!
ReplyDeleteI have one comment for others: there are two orange wires connected to the board (on the P4 system I have)and I suggest to mark where they exactly go. I had to make a very educated guess and was lucky. It worked like a charm.Thanks again to you and the navy guy how came with the basic solution first.
I followed all the instructions given and it only worked for 24 hours and now I'm receiving the same no cell power message...did I not use enough solder perhaps?
ReplyDeleteSystem is 3yrs and 3months old. It worked! Thanks. Maybe someone at Hayward should see this.
ReplyDeleteRe it only worked for 24hrs, my first attempt was similiar. I went to radio shack bought a $10 solder sucker which when you heat the old solder sucks it up. I then re soldered lasted for 2 weeks. Have re soldered again my technique is getting better. I will not remove the board completly and take it to get professionally soldered. Hey everybody starts somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say that I visit the site often and read all the comments. I love that navyet's fix and this website have helped so many people save so much money. Thanks for leaving comments and brightening my day.

You're a star for posting these instructions, which were clear and easy to follow. Thank you for the help and for saving me time, hassle and money. You're another good reason why the web is such a valuable resource for information and problem solving. Thanks again.

We just got this failure yesterday, the K1 solder joint was the problem. I fixed it for $15. So far so good!! Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know why the joint fails?? The solder around it definitely looked different; dull appearance, etc.
WOW - thank goodness I found this site!!! Thank you for the detailed instructions/pics. I had the same problem and fixed it with resoldering the K1 joint. I can't believe that is what it was. I was told the board had gone bad (by Hayward!) and it would cost $1200 to replace. Give me a break - they need to stand by their product - people are getting ripped off everyday.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for helping us all! We really appreciate it! Ed--
I would like to THANK YOU, THANK YOU so much for posting this resolution to the 'No Cell Power 2' error!! I had no idea what was going on except my pool started turning green and we were a day away from celebrating my fathers 80th birthday party. I contacted Hayes and they gave the pat response of 'Contact your local authorized dealer'. No explaination nor fix for the problem. I called our local dealer and they said it would be Monday, two days after the party, before they could do a service call. So I hit Google and found this site.
ReplyDeleteI was a bit hesitate about messing with the circuit board but after purchasing a soldering tool from Radio Shack for $8.99 I gave it a try. The fix was done exactly as your step-by-step instructions said and voila error gone and a day later no green pool, birthday party saved!!!
Monday came and I informed the service tech that his services were no longer required. Thank you so much for the detailed instructions saving both the party and untold $$$ the tech would've charged. I'm more than happy to make a donation to keep this site alive for others' so they don't get fleeced by a service tech on something they can easily do on their own.

Thank you! It worked perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, I'll be donating a few bucks since you just saved me hundreds.
ReplyDeleteI'll be posting a video response of my experience as well, in case it's helpful.
Thank you!

ReplyDeleteSame as many above. Just did it and so far so good. Thank you thank you, thank you!
