Hi Pat, Perhaps "fried" was a little too colorful. The CE replaced a board that he said was heat damaged. Neil Palmer says the allowable operating temperature range is 50'F to 100'F. So if it was running at 140'F, why didn't the "high heat" protection shut it down? Failure of the protective circuitry? Al? Was the supers estimate of the room temperature a little too colorful? Did you get a bloody nose from the heat?
