Fantastic article. I have the identical complication but need a new board due to one of the internal wires being severed. I am unable to locate any source for the replacement of the board, plus no item number for ID on the board. Any help is greatly appreciated. Hornady has a Terrible Attitude and admits no faults. I had to return this unit for a warranty on the initial purchase due to a lack of calibration on the 50 side. Used it 4 times and it is DOA. It is never left on or with a power source connected.
