Onkyo's TX-NR626 HDMI switching issue?

[ttx450]

I take it the HDMI switching issue is on the HDMI board?  My receiver just started not switching the HDMI inputs, some audio would switch but not video, most dont switch.  I am guessing 15-20k hours on the unit.  Whats the likelihood for repairing this?  Is it caps on the HDMI board?  thks..

There was a service bulletin or ten put out years ago for many Onkyo recievers.

The problem was indeed crappy capacitors on the HDMI board. I think they may have been 85degree rated caps too, possibly?

I replaced the ALL the capacitors on the HDMI board in my brother's unit with high quality 105degree rated caps and all was well again.

I might do that.   I am restricted to not lifting more then 20lbs for 3 more weeks.  I hate to pull out the receiver from my home theater 'hook-up' and leave a empty hole.  All HDMI inputs ares used and I run a 7.1 speaker config.  lot's of wires.  Does me no good sitting there, just takes up so much room on the bench along with the void in my home theater cabinet.  A cap switch out is much cheaper then a new unit.
