Same here, plus I make more money on component level repair than replacing boards.

I'd like to mention that if boards such as the Sony "G" are easily repairable then we are better off to just go ahead and repair the board. In a couple years down the road one of us will really need the whole board such as in the case of lightning damage but the whole board will be NLA. Sony will have sold out their stock. I've seen this happen before and it goes for all of the manufacturers with common failure boards. I do agree if we get stuck on a tough "dog" that board replacement may be the most profitable way out. But I'm going to at least try first. Usually they only need a handful of inexpensive parts that cost a fraction of what a new board costs. Mark Wentowski Perry Hill Electronics 3836 Harrison Rd.
