Thank you very much everyone in the FC community for having been such great supporters over the last year or two. I just had an interaction with a new member (I won't mention their name but I have ignored them now) that if more of my interactions were like I wouldn't be providing this service. In fact, it is the only person who has been rude to me and treated me badly in all my time doing this.
They first started by attacking the shipping prices I had (which are within a couple dollars of my cost), I guess they thought that shipping w/ insurance and tracking isn't required ... then when I explained this, and their alternatives, they again attacked me saying "WTF you are really expensive amongst other insults ..." ... for telling them about alternatives such as the $100 discount or so that S&B has typically offered.
Anyways ... I guess this guy feels that making $20 for 1/2 an hour to 1.5 hours of my time on every customer is too much and "really expensive" ... ... anyways ... just wanted to vent ... thanks for listening everyone! I've ignored this user now so won't have to deal with any more of this shit ... and I've indicated that even if he wanted to purchase something, I would not be willing at this point.
For the little bit of money I've made on this in the last couple years, if even 1 out of 10 of my customers was even close to like this, I wouldn't be doing this anymore.
So thank you very much to the other 50-75 of you who have been absolutely amazing to deal with! (and the rest of the FC family!)
As all of you know who have had difficulties, I always go above and beyond to help out, and do everything I can, largely because I just love this community and honestly want to see everyone get back up and running--there are also lots of you out there that I haven't sold a cell to as I've instead helped you troubleshoot the problem and avoided buying something that wouldn't fix the issue; I don't want to sell anyone anything that they don't want and don't need
Happy holidays everyone!

Edit: @francomg ... sorry I missed your post ... did you get it back up and running? If not maybe post a picture of the top/bottom of the mainboard (nice high resolution preferrably), and I'll see if I can spot any issues. It does sometimes overheat and cause a short/break on the mainboard circuit near where the heater connects.
