Thanks Guys for the input. As you said I did communicate with Tommy Kee at Newell and they are also sending boards in for repair but do not have any extra or a source for available boards. I just thought since most of you guys are like me and are gearheads that Iwould take a chance that someone had run accross a similar issue and knew where or may have a old unit with the board still in it that could be scavenged.
Anyway to eloborate on the continueing failures, the board has some solder flow issues that appear to be intermitent. One appeared after the last repair when the bosrd was slightly toqured. I have spoken with the tech at Flight Systems and he said he would try to reflow as as many of the runs as he could and perhaps that would do the job. in bench testing, the components have not failed, however when it is reinstalled it still didnt work after the last try. The one before worked for about four weeks then failed again. The good news is, it fails on the bench test too, so maybe, just maybe they will eventually get fixed. and by the way, the re-repairs are warranted.
Thanks again for all the input..
