There are a few things to test before and after replacing the

so that the
parts replaced will enjoy a LONGER life.--Yes, you can just replace
the final
board without checking anything, and if you are lucky, it will
work, but why
not try to reduce chances that you will replace the wrong thing, or
that the
problem will recur?-----73, KC3VO--Bob.
