There's a series of chips on the board that aren't soldered very well. You have to rip it apart and resolder them, or replace the board. Mine went out, picked up a pencil soldering iron and did a search on the board here for the step by step repair. It's on here somewhere. Let your fingers do the walking. It's easy to fix.
