again replace the systemboard on my x31 or give up?

[pellicle]

Hi

subsequent to my previous post on my x31, and taking into account that this is now the second system board I've replaced on this unit, I am wondering if all these machines are faulty?

I'm sitting here typing on my x20 which has been a total work horse for ages. Yet my x31 has failed on me twice now, and that's only in a few years.

The machine was bought new in 2005, but a few months out of warranty it started to give lockups, these got worse to the point where you only had to pick it up and it would bluescreen.

I suspect the main weakness is the amount of flexing that occurs when putting it on and off the base station. So, since I replace the main board I have only (carefully) used the basestation for it 5 or so times (prefering to use a USB DVD).

I read here many issues with these x31's and so before sinking any more money into one, I pose the question

are they all flawed?

thanks
