They said they will try one other thing, but it didn't look good.
If it is the board, it would cost around $500.00 to repair. The machine is around the same age as yours, and cost about $1100.00 in its day. Not very cost effective to have it repaired if it is the board. I am sick.
Great machine, but... I compare it to living in Disney Land while I had it, but now using my "backup machine" I feel like I am on a cheap carnival ride. Yes, we are spoiled.
I too, just retired, Feb. 28th of this year.
Hope you get better news, and they can bring yours back to life!!!
I know with all the problems in this world abroken machine is not much, but it is cheaper than therapy, It Is My Therapy!
Good Luck, Let Us Know
