Melco gave me a guy named Jeff in West Jefferson, Ohio I think it was. He's coming Thursday and is about 3 hours away. My husband says West Jefferson is near Columbus 937-631-8917 He seems really nice on the phone, also has an embroidery shop and three XT's. I was on the phone with a tech at Melco for almost an hour and they thought the motherboard was bad. I called Jeff so he could come and fix everything and to make sure that was really what was wrong. That is a lot of money and I'm not under warranty anymore. And I was also going to have to update my software because the new boards won't work with the old software. So it was probably going to be close to $2,000. My husband checked out the motherboard, pushing on the chips to make sure they were still seated and we tried again and it worked!!! I'm so thrilled because I don't do enough business to pay for that much in repairs. I called him back right away and said to please still come and do the roller upgrade and clean and check it out, but don't order the motherboard. Mine is a 2002 and one of the first ones out. I am grateful it lasted this long without major problems.
