A good point to remember, is that the cost of a replacement board thru Bruce at AMD is less than what the average person would try n charge to have one fixed etc...seen the size of the latest AC/DC and X Men 2 x computer boards....compact n inexpensive to replace...most run 24hrs a day, 7 days a week, year after year, and still dont have issues..u hardly ever hear of a Aussie Stern board requiring work, espescially HUO machines. Never seen one yet or even heard of a HUO board needing anything.
The new Stern board designs should be better again, which should translate to even better reliability.
Out of interest.. how much is a replacement?
