Hi there,
New to the forum, but long time home espresso officionado! I'm in Manchester with a broken 7-8 y/o Baby Twin.. Started with the flickering lights/random switching etc. last week, now no power at all. Can't hear any relays click when I turn the power on now, whereas before there would be at least one click; sometimes more if the lights/switches were flashing..
I read here that CPU board failure can cause the flickering/random behaviour of the touch switches, and that a new board can be fitted to fix it, but wondering if that problem may have caused another problem (like blown a fuse or something worse; it smells a bit like it's been 'hot electrically' in there-not sure if that's normal??) Or is 'completely dead' just the final destination on the journey of bad CPU?
Looks like a board would be easy to replace, but no idea how to test/repair anything else in there!
Not a lot of money to spend, and hoping to keep a repair bill under £100. Is this realistic? I think if it is likely to run over £100 I'd rather put that towards a Classic or Sylvia... But somehow I gotta get my morning shot!!
Appreciate any advice, and ready for some hard truths if necessary.
Thanks,
Craig.
