Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I just got off the phone with the guy at the shop, he said all the voltages were ok, the only one he questioned was the 3 volt. He thinks I might have to replace a board but he doesn't know-  

If I did fry a board or something would that effect the ROM cards? I'm thinking I might just try to sell the three cards in the thing to cut my losses. I'd perfer to fix it but money's pretty tight.

Any thoughts? Does anyone know of a good place that will repair an xl7?

I'm riding a real bummer on this one. Any help is greatly appreciated.
