The latest update is that the Circuit Board Medics tried to screw me
(IMHO) so I told them to send me back everything.

Two days later they call me up (to their credit, they called both
days but I didn't bother to pick up the phone), and changed their tune.

So, at the moment, they're gonna send me back my original CCU and a
rebuilt MCU for $165 (plus my original $$20 or so to ship it to them).

In the end, it was a waste of time and money to go to the Circuit Board
Medics because for $191 + about 10% tax I could have gotten a brand
new MCU board locally in 1 day.

Lesson learned.

But anyway, I'll let you know what happens when the board arrives and
I put it in the washing machine. (The women folk are on my case.)
