Hi Guys

Thanks for the input, I suppose I really should try and repair this myself, after all I have nothing to lose, if it doesn't work I can always buy a new one.
Thanks for the link to your article nino, one thing that troubles me though you say these boards can take from 3 to 10 hours to repair, and thats for someone like you who actually knows what they are doing.  I don't know if I will live long enough to finish mine.
