    Im not happy either with the new direction of disposable boards. I am currently struggling with repairing a WOZ light board. Id like to stop spending $35 every time a board goes out, or worse yet, hundreds if a larger light board goes. I have a few main components but the controller chips are hard to find, the leds are about $10 a piece, its to the point where even if you have the components and the know how its still not worth repairing. I am still going to keep working at repairing these just for the challenge since i have the parts to but damn a 3mm x 3mm package with a slug and recessed legs is brutal.
