Yamaha and Honda also use "proprietary" inverter boards. In some cases, a replacement board costs more than a brand-new generator.
I guess technology has boxed us into a corner! I've had the same experience with several appliances - every time a repairman has said "you've got a bad board", the replacement cost of the board, the return service call, etc., all approaches the cost of the whole unit - so of course, I usually chuck the whole thing and buy a new one that at least has a warranty. My last dryer was cheaper to replace rather than repair the present one due to a "board"!
