My faithful Prime HD has given up the ghost after 5 years of service;Dead. I’d hate to scrap it if there’s an inexpensive way to refurbish it. Is anyone familiar with this?

Don't forget third party repair services. Often cheaper and better than the manufacturer.

Check with him:

What is wrong with it? At 5 years my guess is a dead power supply which would be an easy fix.

Circuitry is sort of easy.

Ind. diode replacement isn't.

Lenses showing browning over the blue and or violet diodes?

Solid red light, no light. Before this, it would shut off for no reason and come back on five minutes later. This time it shut off and never came back on.
