quote:What does this "process" cost...to replace the 5v board and get up and running completely?
I had a 5V failure replaced with a 3V system in 2011 at the LHS. It cost me $250 - the same price that I paid in 2010 to have a PS1 engine upgraded to PS2. I thought the PS2 5V repair might be cheaper since the engine was already PS2 but the LHS claimed it had to replace just about everything - kinda the same situation when a PS1 system is replaced with a PS2 system. Everything gotta go.
Even the headlights and such. The speaker was the biggest hangup though. The 3V speaker is bigger than the existing 5V speaker and the LHS tried and tried numerous speakers without success. Had to ship it to MTH to get it fixed. MTH reamed out the opening that the speaker fit in - something that the LHS, to his credit, was hesitant to do. MTH charged an extra $69! The LHS tried to get me to pay the extra $69 but I refused since in my eyes we had a deal for $250. He got MTH to somehow back off the billing.
