To add to Biscuits post, the connection between the brass nozzle where the gas emitted and the aluminum tube where the gas goes to is a slip connection which is very loose. This is where the millivolts gets transferred to the circuit board. It can get a little corroded and needs to be cleaned so there is a good connection. Put scribe marks on everything and take it apart and use some emory cloth to clean.
The circuit board is very reliable and most problems are caused by corrosion in the connectors ans this one slip joint

There is current running through the burner tube, trust me. If that slip connection isn't a good one, you will get a flame out.
