Logic Board Fix Needed

I have an early 2009 24" Intel iMAC that has developed a Logic Board fault.

The replacement Loard Board is expensive, so I need to know if there is a economical fix for Logic Boards that fail?

Has the Apple engineering investigated the problem, and have identified what is at fault and can offer advise on how to do a fix?

The replacement Logic Board cost is well on the way to buying a new iMAC, and this is what worries me, if I buy another will I be facing the same problem in a few years time?

From a now very worried iMAC owner.

iMac (24-inch Early 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

My logic board failed on my 2008 MBP. I sent it to http://macalltrade.com near Tampa, Florida. Stanley, the owner, has the abilities to search and repair logic boards, among other components. It cost me $299 for the repair. As I understand it, he gets the "flow" going. I'm not en electrical engineer, so I can't explain what that is. It could be mumbo jombo or BS....but whatever he did, it worked...happy to say! Hear is his FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/macalltrade?ref=br_rs

I highly recommend them!

I have the same worry! I'm right now on a dilemma because my MacAir is dead in just 2 years! (I bought it in 2016 and I had just a year of guarranty), the fix cost as much as buying a new one but I'm afraid that it would do the same thing.
