Title: Don't bother
Product review: I had similar results with my ET200 brad nailer. First one smoked, exchanged for a new one. Several months and 20-30 brads more and again it smokes. On disassembly, I discovered two brads jammed in the thing. This stopped the solenoid from completing it's cycle. Unless it completes and a lever hits a microswitch, the circuit continues to power the solenoid coil.A resistor, R1, on the circuit board is used as a current limiter and a fuse. This resistor over heats and burns itself and the moisture-proof board coating. The solenoid and the rest of the board is fine.There is a place for a fuse on the board, but a circuit board trace makes it inoperative, if it was there.It is repairable, but with the jamming being fairly common, it's just not worth the bother. I will find an air driven brad nailer.
