Default anyone skilled inrepairing ecu ?

I'm nit sure if it's possible since all the components r pretty small. But I'm afraid I may burnt the because my radio doesn't allow the volume to go up. It must b really low n then shut off if hindered. I had this problem along with some either. The ECU was replaced and the radio worked again ! I was messing with wiring yesterday n now radio is messing up again. This leads me to believe it's the ECU n want to fix before something worse happens .

So back to my question. Anybody know how to repair a M/T ECU ? If u guys have an extra one working that would help too lol

Check driftmotion.com

They repaired my 1jz m/t ecu for $60 plus shipping. My ecu had leaking capacitors and they fixed it. It took less than 2 weeks.
