The board lasts roughly 6 to 10 years. I don't think anyone here has had a failure less than 6 years. As for cost, yes it is pricey. IMO, I'd either fix it or buy the original. Who knows what another design is or isn't going to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fizbin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58734 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100509
