Hello all,
I have for all intents and purposes a brand new RX-V781 receiver. I use it like once a year for a party. The thing was awesome and sounded great with both zones. I went to turn it on last week and nothing. I saw a blue message on the screen briefly, and then it went away and that was it. I did a few Google suggestions and nothing helped. So I brought it to the local AV repair store. They said it was a bad HDMI board and wanted $400 to fix it. For that price I can almost buy another one. I thought about contacting Yamaha and maybe buying the board myself. I dont know how much they cost or if I could even do it myself. Could someone like me be able to replace this board? Could a bad HDMI board cause the unit to not turn on at all? Just so frustrating, like I said this is basically brand new. It probably only has about 20-30 running hours. What a disappointment. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
