Hello all
I have a Potterton Performa 28 which can't be more than 6 years old at the most. I'm with BG homecare and the boiler has recently had to have a new PCB.
If I dug out my old Sinclair Spectrum (circa 1981) I'm pretty sure it would work without a problem. The printed circuit board consisting of resistors, capacitors, switches, chips etc would not need replacing. In fact on most household items it is extremely rare to have to replace a circuit board. Could someone explain why boilers are any different and that a PCB on my boiler presumably consisting of the same sorts of components as my Spectrum needs to be replaced after such a short period. (Looking through other posts it seems to be a fairly common problem.)
Regards
Matthew
