Man this seems like a huge pain to upgrade to 2.0. Kinda makes me want to just buy a machine that already has 2.0. So many horror stories about dead boards.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

Games with 5.0 unbuffered boards are those that have been prone to issues. A vast majority of owners of games with 5.5v buffered, and 7.5v unbuffered / buffered have thankfully never had an issue. My WOZ ECLE has 7.5 unbuffered boards and I've never had an issue in over 5 years of owning the game.

I’ve seen enough people with 7.5 or even buffered boards though that had problems to worry me. I’m even considering buying a used one that has a bad board. Not looking forward to the time sink of an upgrade though. Hmm

Quoted from pinstyle:

I have newer 7.5 boards (some with the daughter board, some integrated) and I can tell you first hand they will fail. I have replace 7-8 of them since I bought the game new in 2015? I just bought five for the discount with the intension of keeping two as spares but I ended up having to use them all. Ironically I seem to lose boards right at an update, every single time. Lucky for me so far all failed boards have been the smaller ones but as soon as a larger board goes I'm out on this older system.

It seems that once one fails that one or other boards will continue failing. Doesn’t stop until you upgrade to 2.0. The non 2.0 buffered can work solid for a long time, until they don’t. Then it’s just downhill it seems.
