The local dealer said $1000 minimum to repair and they'd have to send my machine's actual board(s) themselves to be repaired and only 1 year warranty once done so I opted for a different brand replacement at the time.

Thanks,

I had a Bernina 170, bought it used and had to replace the motherboard when I got it....I used it around 48 hours on the new board and it went out on me again...The repair man said he couldn't get a replacement part for it. I love that machine, but after the newer board went out I switched brands.
