My Onkyo NR-5008 receiver had been showing signs of a well documented hardware problem for months.
- No speakers show up as being connected.
- The network setting menu item is also grey'd out.
See http://www.avsforum.com/t/1455911/onkyo-hdmi-failures/180#post_24625838 for the details.
Since I am the developer for the Java implementation of the Onkyo eISCP, this is a big problem for me 
Onkyo stepped up!
I sent my NR5008 in today for Free repair. I followed the instructions they posted on AVS: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers-amps-processors/1455911-onkyo-hdmi-failures-9.html#post26735194
I let up know how it goes...
Its been about 4 weeks and its on its way back!
It arrived back and its fixed!
BUSTED AGAIN after about a year!
I will try a DIY repair now.
There are six 100μF 16V caps on this board. Four on one side (8912, 8915, 8918, 8921) and two on the other side (8901, 3104).
For replacement I used Panasonic FM series type A Low Impedance 100μF/25V 105°C caps.
Everything works fine now. Thank you very much for this thread!
Bottom line: Even though they tried, I'm done with this brand.
