I have personally seen a Dozen go out, they usually will burn up inside because the furnace is improperly installed or customer runs a plugged filter alll the time.
The boar is a 012 board or the new update I think it a 035, I just put one on my truck today I shit you not as we just replaced two of them.
Joe, on the t-stat you can hold the advance button for 10 seconds and get into a list of items. Scroll down to Error codes or fault codes.
If you see a code I think 25 called Model system setup error that is for sure a Board issue, next to it, it may say 255 events. An event is one individual time that the furnace acted up, it caps out at 255.
Keep me updated as I'm curious...
