UPS Repairs

Could anyone recommend a person to repair a SOLA 3000VA UPS,
It is in for a quote yet the price for board replacement is quite
extreme. The main board has most of the power switching and a daughter
board with most of the logic. (there still is a lot of logic on the
power board though)

A repair shop that could do some component repairs with a
service manual being available would be a very good option.

The dealer doesn't seem to do component repairs just board replacement.
I am in Melbourne north Easterly suburbs.

I don't think Sola do component repair as that is where I got the $2k
quote from, and it hasn't been hit by lightening or similar.
They replace the boards and probably exchange them from the US.

From what I understand it could be interrogated with software,
yet I can easily buy a new one for less than the repair cost
The quote just lists a replacement board and new 7 ah 12v
batteries at $52 each.

Years ago I had the equipment and with a circuit diagram could
repair it myself.

I might replace it with an Oz brand Upsonic and keep the dollars
with us rather than uncle sam.

****What? It didn't lose a lot of weight suddenly?
