It would be GREAT if I could fix the controller. I just need to reverse engineer the circuit and figure out what part of it stopped - the transistor stage, the optocoupler, or the components in the big black block that I can't see into.

I made my 3phase controller and i had water cooling working, but i burned IGBT still when i reved motor and released clutch, bam!
I simply replaced IGBT and affected driver chip together with its DCDC supply brick. Took like 2 days since i had everything on stock.
Were there scorch marks? How did you know it was the IGBT? Is there a simple test I can do to test the IGBT?
