Cold solder joints can easily be reworked. Just

Does anyone out there know of a board repair
service, or do we just pitch em out and sell
the customer new ones?

Rule of thumb is discard if $100. I'll do
labor intensive repairs for friends/colleagues/myself.
But, if it's going to be billable hours, I just tell them
to replace.

I've done board soldering when I was a teen.
The one I took out today looks realy cold.
Plan is to get to a friend of mine who's a
computer repair guy.

Board retails for $175. I hate to just pitch
em out.

First thing to check is discrete component like capacitors,
pico fuses on the board, any power supply related stuffs.
And visual inspection; burnt sign, smell, cold solder, etc.
If ASIC or microprocessor is involved, time to give up.
