BLUELINEC4 - I've been afraid of that likelihood. I doubt replacing the board would be cheap, and he already has $100 into it. He usually runs conventional, so maybe it could be fitted with something basic to get it running.
The wire was pinched hard enough to expose the inner metal wire, and it is possible that it touched the frame. But I'm pretty sure the exposed side of the wire was firm against the plastic body post side and not the frame.
