Let's also not forget that PCBs were supposed to be available, but Valve never released the calibration tools, so they were never offered.
My understanding on why the motherboard was never made available is because it was going to be sold for $350, and it wasn't worth selling a repair part for that much when you can buy a new 64GB deck for $50 more.
That may be true, but the daughterboards were going to be under $40
