Default WANTED: Photo of the bottom control board inside the NDBW cruise control unit

I think I know how to fix a manufacturing defect in the cruise control unit, but I would like a photo of the inside of a working controller (close-up on the bottom beneath the 12-pin connector solder points) before I attempt to modify my own controller board and re-install hoping it is fixed.

Greatly appreciated!

Default Great link! But that unit is a little different

My controller has a brown plastic connector soldered and riveted into it. 4D0 907 305 is the part number I want to see inside of.

That controller also may not be the same model too (author doesnt give the part #!), the pins used in his tests dont seem to match the functions of the Audi A4/A6/A8 NDBW pins, but the design on that one is definitely improved from what I have and doesn't have the defect area that I see on mine.

Default Need to see a photo of the back side, close-up on the front

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/148128/dsc00344_2.jpg"></center><p>
Your unit is like mine. However, I need to see a photo of the back side of a working unit, however.

I want to see if the 6 solder disconnects at the front edge of the board are normal in a good working unit.

I've included an image of what my broken unit looks like on the back front, but I must stress to the readership that I do NOT know if this is normal condition or not. THAT IS WHY I WANT TO SEE A PHOTO OF A GOOD WORKING UNIT, to verify if this is actually a problem or just weird design/manufacturing.
