Ummm -- we're hams, and are supposed to have at least some technical
background. If we can't open up a product like one of the Elecraft
rigs and at least look around we ought to send our boxtop license back
to the government agency that issued it. That doesn't mean that we
should attempt circuit board level troubleshooting.
Elecraft sells most of their products as kits that require minimal
assembly of pre-tested circuit boards and other components. I built
two K3s, a KX3, two P3s with SVGA boards, and a KPA500. The KPA1500 is
not available as a kit.

Jim, I didn't say I couldn't look around and I'm certainly not going to
send my "BOXTOP" license back. I have had it since 1955. Took all the
CW tests in front of an examiner etc.
I want to congratulate you on building all the Elecraft stuff. I have
built an AT-1, the 30 watt Heathkit transmitter, DX100, HW101, and
various test equipment.
