Actually the estimate when I called in the error code was $60 just to show up and google results said $450 for the board. And also mentioned using the 3x5 card instead as a way it might be fixed. It worked so I'm good.
But I can still fucking bitch about it you anonymous fucking idiot. Because it's still a stupid fucking idea. Sure, let's add a $450 motherboard to the oven so you have to evaluate the cost of replacing a motherboard for $450 or buying a new oven for $650 and throwing this piece of shit into the nearest land fill.
My girlfriend did this with her refrigerator. The motherboard passed on and the replacement board was in the $350 range plus the $75 for someone to come out and check it out. In checking the 'net, I found the particular model was some cheap rebranded shit that contractors put in new houses. Looks nice and all but generally lasts for 5 to 7 years before taking a dump. She replaced it with a better model at the Sears store and this one went to a landfill somewhere.
What a fucking waste.
