Morning all-Could anyone confirm for me that when you have an open-cicuit coil on one of these Seiko watches it only affects the rotor that the coil is working with or does it stop all functions? I have one of the smaller coils failed on my watch-any advice greatfully received, Kind Regards.

Hi Jackson  As a rule they are all separate functions driven from a single source namley the circuit block which sorts out all the various functions. If one coil breaks down one would suppose the remaining functions would operate as usual. The fact that none of the functions work it would suggest that what ever did the coil in had an effect on the block. One could remove the block assy and test it for functionality before going any further. hope that helps a bit.

Hi Watchweasol and thankyou for your reply confirming my thoughts,iv gone around things the other way but still no luck-by which i mean i took the circuit board out first and it was damaged,iv managed to get another that visualy looks good-no burn or acid damage? Fitted it-no luck so then checked the coils and found one of the smaller ones open circuit, thats where i am now-maybe iv still got a bad pcb?

Hi Jackson  It is possible you got a duff block it is possible to check the block on its own with the right tools look up Israel Angeles (in the phillipines)  a very talented chap who runs a watch repair school and has made some tools for quartz repair ( I use one) very useful

Hi Watchweasol and thank-you again that sounds very interesting? i will certainly take a look with great interest,i didnt realy think you could test the ic without specialist equipment but did wonder if the crystal may have stopped oscillating-that i imagine would stop everything, probably not a common fault but possible?

      Thanks Mark, but can we still discuss the other important matter please and not be distracted from it. Thank you.

      You're probably not going to see a dramatic change but you should probably figure out what the lift angle is as it probably is not 52°

      In tandem with my last post regarding the removal of Google Adsense on this website - I have also decided to fully self fund this site as a gift to the watch repair community of which I’ve been a member of, and have benefited from since being extremely lucky to gain an apprenticeship back in the late 80s.    Well, that means that I have also closed down my Patreon account - or, to be clear, stopped all future transactions on my Patreon account and this is with immediate and permanent effect.    not to mention, but I will, I really really do appreciate the contribution all my patreon and PayPal supporters have provided over the years, you guys have been absolutely awesome and helped to keep this forum alive and available for those who might not be able to afford the payments.    again, from the bottom of my heart thank you.

      My pleasure. I would rather pay more than have those annoying ads ruin this site. They were a terrible idea and something I never even saw much, but I was on my iPad yesterday testing a security update for the forum software and it was impossible. I decided then - they had to go!!! Also, co-incided with this, for those who are paying for pattern in order to help fund this site - I’ve just disabled patreon. Future monthly payments will not be taken.  PayPal is a little more complicated. I will try to work out how to cancel the few subscriptions but if you are a PayPal donator then please feel free to cancel the monthly sub.  I will, however thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping to contribute to this site financially - it means a lot. But going forward, I’m funding it personally from my pocket and that’s the end of it 😄

      Thank you Mark it definitely makes the site looked much nicer. Although I didn't mind the ads as long as it helped to pay for the messageboard but sometimes when you had the feeling that there were more ads than message board yes it was a little annoying. Thank you
