Magnum Energy - sourcing parts

Hi there,

Apologies if this is in the wrong section, I couldn't find anything on search and Magnum doesn't have any forums that I could find.

With the announcement that Magnum is shutting down, I would like to try to source some spares for my system. Over the years I have picked up 2 used non-functioning MS-4024PAE inverters and repaired one which I am now adding to my system in parallel mode. My third inverter has an issue with the control board but everything else is functioning. So in essence I have backup parts for everything except a control board.

I have tried to contact Magnum sales multiple times but they never return my calls. I have tried a number of online resellers but none have the board in stock (TCB-MS4024PAE) and are no longer able to order anything. Does anyone on this forum have a suggestion as to where I could find a replacement board? Or maybe someone has an older one from a firmware upgrade they want to part with?

Or barring all of that, does anyone have access to a schematic for the Magnum Inverters? The control board is all SMD so a bit harder to repair but I am willing to go that way if needed. 

Any help is appreciated!

Bob

No link, I was told by 2 different Suppliers when I tried to order some Magnum parts for my parallel set up. I was told they (I guess Sensata) will continue to honor Warranties for the Magnum line but will longer produce any new products.
