I see...any idea what was causing the board to fry? I'm assuming you were using line power and not a generator?

I had one of my hvac units in my property fry 3 boards in succesion until we found the culprit.Condensate was getting blown around near the controls and apparently reached the board.By the time my hvac guy showd up to diagnose the problem,there wasn't any water present.Finally figured it out the last time as we inspected the unit right after it failed and saw the water.The culprit?The condensate line was slighty plugged and the pan wouldn't drain as fast as usual.After and hour the pan would be dry and this wasn't something that would be obvious to look at.Blow those condensate lines out.

The system was a lemon from the start. My installer installed about 30 of them before the gremlins showed up. He really did all that he could but had zero support from Sanyo in Atlanta. I'm no HVAC guy but I learned what I could and troubleshot the system several times. Once Panasonic took over I was screwed. Even though my inside wall units were fine I just couldn't bring myself to give the company more money for a new outside condensing inverter. I went with a different brand new system from a different manufacturer.
