hese is a SUPERSTAR!
Decided to send him my burnt out A1200 board after a few exchanges and free advice from him as I felt it was out of my league, once he got it he was very quick to start diagnosing, kept me informed along the way, identified the root cause, offered sensible advice and upgrade suggestions with no pressure whatsoever, fixed everything up and sent it back to me and it's working fine, I'm beyond thrilled.
On top of that - very fairly and reasonably priced in my opinion. The most expensive item ended up being shipping back from Finland...ouch

but it is what it is, and I'm super happy having it fixed, even if in my view I'd rather have hese getting more of the money for his awesome work, and UPS less
Again, many thanks hese, I recommend him wholeheartedly, and big thanks to
@Boing-ball for bringing his services to my attention!
Cheers
