If the relay is bad, SOMEWHERE on here someone (180?) found a cheap, aftermarket replacement. The relays just solder in - no need to buy a new board!
Correct, I did a thread on replacing the relays (click) some time back. Replacing a relay should be no big deal to someone handy with a soldering iron. I found the part number of the relays and ala_xfire got some and proved the number in my thread to be correct by replacing one of his. Relay replacement sure beats buying another RCM even a used one which may not be perfect anyway.

They say we should practice the three R's in the conservation of resources, Relay Replacement is two of the them, what is the other?
