First off, I really appreciate this thread and have learned a lot.
Second, even after reading a lot on this thread, I still have a couple questions:
1. I am still confused on what I have to do if my board fails (as mine did a little while ago). I propped up the ramp but do i also need to disconnect the time machine and the drum? If yes, where are those connections located?
2. I gather that if I only replace the board, it will probably blow that board as well because the underlying issue (ie. wire kinking) will still be there. Is this correct?
2. Are most people waiting for a stern fix until they replace the board, wire clamps, etc.?
Thanks and apologies for all the questions. I genuinely tried to answer these questions myself.
