If you conclude that you need an OBC, there seems to be a rather expensive OBC in Norway: https://finndel.no/delinfo.aspx?f=750&dnr=23931... I think the prices approaching to the levels to consider conversion to 3 phase aftermarket chargers.

Not sure, I am not sure what is the sound in your video, are you shaking the connector or is it from some relays? BTW... Do you mean you can charge at home?

I actually wanted to remove the potting material and what you see is probably the damage from that attempt. But I also checked the resistor and to my surprise, it shows open. [It either was damaged before or maybe my knife has cut it].

sorry, I have been too busy in recent days... I will get back to you in the coming weeks. I understand that it is rude to drop out of the forum once the problem is fixed and you got all the free guidance.

yes, I see some small amount of dark material coming out of its corner (towards the copper coil). Also there is black soot on the white resistors. I did this test and I think this resistor chain is open.

Thanks, I think I need to remove the waffle plate to check out these resistors and also take out the failed caps. I think the LE105 (1uF Okaya capacitor) [and probably the relay next to it] is also in trouble: I also took a top photo from the whole board.

With the peace of mind that comes from having a repaired car, I had a look again on my board (and after reading Sjalabais' post on speakev.com) and decided that the gray material next to the OKAYA LE335 capacitor is not a glue to fix the capacitor to the board, but the electrolyte that has...

There is a good guide with pictures here: https://www.speakev.com/threads/a-guide-to-changing-the-onboard-charger-on-the-nissan-leaf.160015/ I add that: 1. It is important to print and follow the guideline for removing the High voltage connector from the OBC. the big connector has 3 tabs (on...

Last week I bought a second hand 296A0 3NA3A (2011 model) from ebay UK (the item was in Lithuania... but I paid VAT) and received it on Monday. I installed it the same day and now the car works and charges. I am planning to poke around the circuit board of the failed charger with a ESR meter to...

I did not test other components, and unfortunately, after changing the D211, the charging does not work. I am thinking of sourcing a second hand or new OBC. Apparently there is not anything available in Scandinavian salvage yards, and buying brand new from USA seems to be the most economic...

Thanks... I ordered the "D4F60" from Mouser (should arrive Monday-Wednesday, it is with FedEx now) and managed to pull out the lower board. I checked the fuses and they were OK. I wonder if I could assume that the other components are OK, or should I test some other components on the board...

Hi nlspace, you were spot on sir! I went and took these photos of the diode, that comes at the end of my post. Now my challenges are 1. To find a and order a replacement diode for the toasted diode. 2. Figure out a way of removing the lower board from the OBC (if possible, without touching...

I think I have confused everyone by my earlier sloppy reporting, the pilot-ground resistance also showed the similar (OL / Mega Ohm) range (similar to test on the leads of D547 diode on the board) and I equated Mega Ohm with open loop, which seems to be wrong. I read about the correct diode...

I doubt if the V mark is not related to the internal damage, but there is a little change that it is left on the diode by my crude multimeter probes. The diode is so small that I hardly could see what I was doing there while measuring. I also add that in diode/connectivity test on my...

Hi.. My soldering iron is in a storage that I will visit on Tuesday. I measured the diodes in the circuit. car history: We purchased the car in 2016 with 25 000 km on ODO. [the car was sold just coming out of warranty] and it now has 47000 on ODO. The battery SOH is 78% at the moment. Never...
