Do you use it often? That main board is going to cost around $1800 USD

If you need service on your board, I know this service guy out there in China. They do a good job repair your board and put your old board as collateral, willl give you one. ballgame is right. Repairing one board is roughly $1,800. To buy a new board is about $3,000.

I'm not sure how proprietery the board is but I would take the board to a electronics repair store, one that repairs tv's, stereos. Usually they have someone that can track down the faulty component and replace it, as long as it isn't a Roland chip or something. I have done that with both a Summa power supply and a Laminator circut board. Saved me $600 on the summa and $1200 on the laminator instead of buying their replacement parts.

I had my father-in-law replace a transformer on my 745ex head board. The board was 1800.00 The transformer was 36.00. That was a good day.
