By a machine not a soldertech is the point. Hand soldered ECU's can get buggered and it does happen. To deny it is just BS. My friend in Canada had to get New ECU via the Volvo dealer which cost him over $1000US = 569.605 GBP. So the risk here is if the tuner screws up your ecu while it has been taken apart, then who foots the $1000US or 569.605 GBP bill? Those are the real risks. Sooner or later people make mistakes, it's statistical. That should all be talked about before and not after the fact when your having your ECU tuned. If this happened to a customer of yours how would you address the issue?

I had an Austin Healy full of Lucas parts (a division of Lucas Aerospace) and it spent all of it's time in the shop with electrical problems. Going out on the weekends was always an adventure because you never knew if you had enough parts or the right parts to fix it to get back home. It was a fun car but I don't think my friends liked getting stranded very much. My Physicist friend affectionately and often quoted: "Lucas the company who invented Darkness"
