More accurately, is there anyone (PNW area preferred) who actually troubleshoots, tests, and repairs the major components of electronics systems? Or, does everyone literally just swap and upgrade endlessly until they lose track of what works properly and what doesn't? Can you tell that I'm frustrated?
My B&G Zeus touch screen MFD is failing. It's the second one to fail in five years (along with two wind transducers in the same time period). It's out of warranty, and there is no repair service available through B&G (I'm lucky if they return my call or email within six months). So, I'm $OL. To me, it has the symptoms of a bad touch screen/interface (think sticking key on a keyboard). It acts like it's being attacked by a toddler who's looking for his (her?) favorite video or game on a tablet or phone... beeping, circling, processing, buffering inputs and selections until I power it off.
Before I bite the bullet and just buy another unit to install, I thought I'd ask if there is anyone out there who actually asks questions and troubleshoots things before plugging a new one into the same rats nest of network signals and connections, hoping that the new one works better and longer than the one it replaced...
Calmly and quietly awaiting recommendations and referrals...
