No. With intermittent faults the main means of diagnosis is parts replacement. Info so far is inconsistent. Also YOU are saying the pcb is not at fault. You have no way of knowing, neither does anyone else. No fix No fee, implies you aren't willing to pay for efforts which only prove what...

Would any of you gents be willing to fix my boiler then ???

Thanks Axel, but both engineers checked the PCB board and said it's perfectly fine.
