Waiting for this fateful day... My service person gives me the disclaimer every time I take in my Pfaff 2044 for service. There is the possibility that the servicing will trigger the demise of the motherboard and there is no replacing, the machine will be dead.
My machine is a 2003 model, 14 yrs old. RE: My motherboard has a life expectancy of 10-15 yrs. Oh Ugh!
