Just wondering if any repair tech in the pinball community repairs injured/disfunctional node boards from Stern SPIKE/SAM games. I realize Stern would like their customers to just buy replacements, but they are expensive. So, naturally, I'd like to know what my repair options might be, if any.
Thanks.

Thanks. This is helpful. I will give Borygard a shout.

Thank you, all of you, for responding, although much of this thread was either very techy/arcane or focused on the future when I need a solution today. The board in question (true, it's an LE controller board, not technically a node board) is 520-6937-00. It's backordered from Stern. Without it, I have no GI. I play my game with flashlights set up on broom handles beside my game's cabinet. It's hokey, believe me. I need the board. Ironically, I bought the game in part for its durability. I understood it be SAM and node-board free. Not true. My game is a TWD Premium made in March of 2016 and it does indeed have plenty of node boards on the underside of the PF. I'm encouraged that lamp boards are more repairable than others, apparently. I have PM'd Borygard and hope to hear from him soon.
