Is it a common thing to find the cpu/main board with burns on it. We have purchased 4 units on ebay that all have burnt boards. Is the only repair replacing the board or is there any repairs that can be made to it?
You can send it in for repair, I haven't seen much burn on the logic card, usually the only part to burn is the driver chips, but not too often... In any case, Here is a link to the repair form. www.highend.com/pub/support/parts/HES_RepairAuthorizationForm.pdf Of course you could send it in via your local high end dealer as well. Good Luck!

There was a problem with some SCOL boards. Some had the wrong caps in them. HES has a service bulletin on them I think. Remove the black/brown caps and replace them with the new blue ones in set locations. I did 60-80 boards years ago and still find a few.
With the bad caps it's not a matter of IF they will blow but WHEN. When they go it's usually catastrophic for the board. www.emoticons.free.fr/smileys/zz-Death/rip.gif
