Even the board-swap is a borderline scam. It’s probably the same component that fails that anyone with a 50w soldering iron could swap. I’ve often wondered if they refurb it themselves, but a recent experience suggests not. Had a gas fitter come in to replace a leaky water heater. I provided new unit and I was to dispose the old unit. The fool cut off the copper cord to take it, but should have gone for the power vent it was attached to. I was planning on unbolting the power vent’s 8 bolts and selling it for ~$200. Now I gotta rewire one to sell that part. Kinda surprised he didn’t take the brass fittings.
