Does anyone do this locally. I just need the bulbs replaced. I have the bulbs already, just need some to install.

Let me know please.

Hey Mike,
I think you are asking the wrong question. You do not need an HVAC repair shop, you need an "electronics" repair shop.....or any shop capable of board level repair.

If you aren't willing to do it yourself, you can arrange it through JW Motoringing who has forum member Tstar doing the work.

A couple of screwdrivers and a $15 soldering iron is all it takes.....and a lot of patience, but it is not difficult if you take your time. It actually takes only a couple of hours from start to finish if you know what you're doing.

I try it on the old board but had issues getting the old solder out. I dont want to over heat or ruin the board.

Go to Radio Shack and get a Solder Sucker-they work great to remove solder.

You might try looking for someone local to you in the sectional forums.
