The secretary general of the Japan Federation of Aviation Workers? Unions on Wednesday said that three circuit boards on Boeing 787 Dreamliners burned and had to be repaired last year.

Bloomberg reports that the secretary general, Shozo Tsue, said one of the repaired circuit boards had to later be replaced.

All of the circuit boards were on 787s operated by All Nippon Airways.

Boeing (NYSE: BA) is currently working to have regulators let it move forward with what it believes will be a fix to the lithium-ion battery problems that have grounded the global fleet of Dreamliners since January.

Tsue said it wasn?t clear if there was any relation between the circuit boards and the lithium-ion battery fires, but the union?s assistant secretary, Kazuo Harigai, acknowledged there had been ?lots of problems with the electrical system? on the 787.
