Integra 9.8 - HDMI board failure.

[LarryM]

Good Morning,

My Integra 9.8 has stopped passing video via HDMI - audio works, but has a 'muted' popping.
I have swapped cables and tested all HDMI outs and the problem persists on each.

When I bypass the unit's HDMI and connect directly to my projector video is fine.

When the 9.8 is powered on my projector displays a green screen with a digital horizontal banding pattern.

I have contacted a certified Onkyo/Integra service center, explained the problem and worked through their troubleshooting checklist.
The service center is telling me the HDMI board has failed; they are telling me this is $600 parts/labor and I'm looking at another ~$100 in shipping the unit - the closest service center to me is ~250 miles.

I'm the original owner and have the sales receipt; what options do I have?
I honestly cannot justify investing ~$700 USD into a 4 year old platform.

Edit - Can anyone help me source the HDMI board?
