    Quoted from krankin:

    I'll post some pictures when I get home this evening. My busted one does not look like the picture above.

    Yeah yours is the slightly bigger one with dip switches? That's what failed on my GB.

    Quoted from schudel5:

    If any one of the node boards fail the communications test you have a 250# paperweight.

    And sadly they aren't nearly as heavy as the older boards.

    Quoted from Mbecker:

    - at least you'd expect a nib pin to be more reliable than something 10 years or older.

    Well no, I wouldn't actually; that's always been the issue

    Quoted from Sinestro:

    Some of you may complain about the node boards, but they are easily swapable for non-techie people.

    One of the basic principles of pinside is to eliminate "non-techie people" and turn them into competent techs that can fix their own machines. Now we're basically being forced to shotgun boards; that's lame ass.

    Quoted from clg:

    Are Stern node boards specific to a particular game or are the same set of boards spread across spike games? Just worried a 'node 8' for GoT is only for GoT and that when they are gone they are gone!

    They aren't supposed to be but I think there are diff'rent version or revisions of them? I know when talking to Stern when my GB node 8 died they told me my GOT node 8 wouldn't swap.
