What what WHAT? Am I reading this correctly - you have to pillage a perfectly good, new player for parts? Oh that seems so wrong....

Of course, the most cost effective solution for this guy seems to be to send his display board in for repair. $170 to ship the thing both ways across the atlantic, and fix it, seems a real good deal to me. Considering it cost me $190 to have a $7 transistor replaced in my Sony reciever, and that was with ME bringing it in and picking it up!

A slightly off-topic question - When the empeg store closed, it still had remotes and sleds available (I think) ... What happened to all that stuff? Especially the remotes, as it seems that the sleds can be home-brewed...
