It tells you how to enter to the console etc, he has all the pics too.
I fixed mine and the problem was: bad solder in 3 of those SMT resistors. Heat up the solder iron (pretty small one!) and in five minutes it is up and running again.
Be carefull when you remove the console, the loose resistors may drop out, you don't want to loose them if you're not a electronic geek

It's because of a couple of resistors popping of of the circuit board. Not a difficult repair if you have a small soldering iron (very small for surface mounted devices).
Here is a link on how to repair:

Supposely some Mexican subcontractor has done those parts?
The PCB soldering is pretty bad quality. Obviously when this is not a safety related component it can be what ever cheapest crap
I'm sometimes working with the automotive (manufacturing) test guys and the testing process there is hard, if it is anything related to safety. They are bullet proof components if they survive those tests. Like our PCM's
I have not heard that, any of our DIY tuners has never actually burned it while scraping the pcb?

The Fuse is Number 19 (10A) inside the cabin. It also gives the power to the overdrive control switch, so if that's working the fuse is OK.
