Considering you guys have so far given her 4 pages on information in this thread for free why should she have to pay one of the manufacturers for it? A manufacturer would charge an industry writer to answer a question that might get them publicity?

The silly thing is, the VNet system is likely failing due to less than a hundred dollars worth of heat-fatigued electrolytic capacitors. I'd bet a competent tech could recap the PSU and main board of the primary controller and the system would function for another 6--10 years.
"The manufacturers in our industry are KILlING us integrators and KILLING the future of the integration business by manufacturing mission-critical componentry with KNOWN and PREDICTABLE failure points (i.e electrolytics) and then disappearing (or just discontinuing product lines) with no replacement parts or service for those who purchase their products.
I have a couple of clients who have already vowed, "never again," based solely on the cost of replacing 10 year old systems that worked perfectly for years but are now failing and cannot be cost-effectively repaired because manufacturers have abandoned my company and my clients.
It's embarrassing. It's borderline criminal behavior, IMHO."
Many of those same clients dump their Range Rovers, BMWs and Lexus cars after a few years and lose thousands of dollars. If they have a 10 year old car that they used everyday, I would be surprised.

Buzz's post with the link to board level service seems to be the best solution. Send in the probable bad boards, get them fixed, install and test, sell the property. Let the new owners figure out what they want to replace it with.

Very interesting and helpful, thank you. Any pics? Nope, everything was in awkward spots and I handle the programming more than the installing

hi, i have vnet in my house and are looking for any backup parts. If you guys out there are removing any of these parts, I'd love for you to PM me so I could buy them off of you if they are in working condition. thanks
