I hope to find somebody nearer (I'm in Switzerland), but
if not, I come back to your offer.

Do you have any Ideas how much a replacement board costs?

As I'm running a server for a large project on this
box, a friend of mine would borrow me his board while mine
gets fixed, but I'm afraid, that this won't be an easy repair.
I can already see the note saying "no defect found,...",
because the problem arises here only once per month or so...

Right in the beginning (about 2 Years ago) I updated the
firmware (Is there any way to check which version, without
rebooting?).

The machine runs pretty cool. There are no disks in there.
The case is relatively big and there are 3 fans working...

Thanks for your help.
