Donny - so right! With the expense of the boards, even a month is too long to wait for a fix. And I also figured that the local guys wouldn't have the part on hand, so I took the chance on a self-repair.
Hopefully, the boards will become more durable and the parts/service procedures a little simpler. I'm dreaming though...
