good point marty. i wasnt having a go at you. u have ten times the knowledge i have.
its frustrating to me when new boards are used instead of refurbing the old one if avail/able to.
its even more frustrating if the problem exists/continues if the new board still doesnt fix the problem. If the old board gets checked/rebuilt, then he can sell that refurbed board on ebay in 5 mins if he wants to and it will recoup the cost maybe towards the new board if he stays with that. Beaky has fixed a few power boards for me and the cost in parts was peanuts. if i replaced any boards in any of my collection with a aftermarket board, he would kick my ass.
i think this fellow is nearby at toowoomba if i am correct. beaky would be happy to check his old board at no cost, just to at least check it out n go from there.
I have 2 x star trek 25ths, so testing will be easy as well.
