Scantronic 9448Es Problems

absolutely agreed, although to an extent you could say that about anything, failure rate on brand new electronic devices could to be up to 5% and if the guy didn't take anti-precautions when installing, could be 25% of higher on the  MTBF.

 

Now that I've seen how basic the PCB is on these things, there's not really a component you couldn't swap out on it with the exception of the micro-controller, and even that, at a push I could probably get a blank replacement re-flashed at work if I had access to a working one and assuming its not read protected.
