I Screwed Up

I'm not familiar with that one. SGI is getting old...he's probably not up on the latest tech.

Its an old method, drill a 1/8 inch hole on one side of the breaker fill with super glue guaranteed not to trip and hard to tell it was tampered with. One step above soaking Edison base fuses in water.

Success. New board works as intended even on a GFCI circuit.

Found an place that will repair failed boards for about half the cost of a new one, so I'll do that and have a spare.

Care to share the board repair place?

This is for my specific model (1100i), didn't look to see if they did other make/models. There's probably others out there, but I've dealt with these people before for parts.

Got the board back from repair, works fine now.

Popped a capacitor and a couple of resistors in the power supply.

The link above was a go-between, and charged a bit more than a direct contact. The actual repair place is:
Heatwave Electronics in Janesville, CA.
