Looking for a Smith io fan goggle circuit board

[sb]

Mine got destroyed by leaking battery, contacted Smith CS and they only will warranty it for manufacture defect. Not gonna happen.

The circuit board is KAPUT and i can not even see the part # for it if it even had one, most do.

Does anyone have a lead for the PCB on this? Even a # would be helpful.

It looks like this



I did a google search for it but can not find an image.

the fan idea works pretty good when it works but I've kacked the turbo fan battery pack on 2 pair of goggles and at this point I have given up on the fan becuz everything from the fan on back to the battery is just poor quality.

It needs to have better wiring with a plug so you can easily replace it and a better batterybox that doesn't unclip itself from the goggle band, I put an elastic band around the battery box to keep it from falling off the head band

the good news is its a pretty good goggle even when the fan shits the bed

edit: I looked for the old box but I can't find it

Is that inside the battery box/switch unit?
I need to check. Might have a whole battery box.
(Got tore off in trees. Just did without afterwards)

Yes, its the inside of the battery box. The board nests in a slotted area and the batteries next to it. There is a L shaped plastic cover that goes over the PCB and helps hold it in place, not shown in pic.

The square part in the center has a push micro switch on top of it and is indeed the on/off button.

Just an update, contacted Smith again and they said send them in. Reckon that is what I will do.

They will fix them or I get a 50% off a new pair, yadda yadda.

I kind of like these even with the fan no workie.

[TurxSki]

Cool. I do not have a spare battery box.
Did you ever use the previous Smith turbo fan goggles?
The Prophecy & Phenom?
Such a better battery switch unit.
Smaller, and you could lock it into Off.
The I/Ox one was always using up its batteries when it was packed away by coming on. Sux.

Yes, I have the other versions. They both still work although I had to re solder the wires on the Phenom. PITA but can be done.

I have had the fan come on in the gear bag also. Found the trick to put them inside my helmet with a skull cap, as padding and it has not happened since.

Bump, as I found out that I stored an old turbofan Phenom with a battery left inside... and it leaked. Electrician friend tried re-soldering the wiring (which corroded and snapped off), but no go.

Has anyone tried wiring in a simple battery box with an on/off switch? Why does something this basic need a circuit board?

^^^ In the purchasing options, you can get a single AA case, with on/off switch, shipped for $1.

I may have one from a pair of goggles where the foam disintegrated. I can check this weekend, would be free

SB should get first dibs on this if he still needs one, but otherwise, I'm very interested!

[abraham]

Ah I missed that. I'll see about what I find.

That pcb looks pretty simple but your AA battery plus switch plan might not work from what I see. It's not clear from that picture but if I have one I'll see what's on it. You may be able to find a similar circuit on another module

I threw out an old one of these just a few days ago. Might still be in the trash on top if I threw it in the laundry room trash. Will look.

[El Chupacabra]

Thanks Danno - please let me know if you find it.

[Danno]

I found it, battery gunk leaking out. Sorry.

[El Chupacabra]

Ah well. Thanks for checking.
