artifact when scanning

I have a logiq S8 that is having intermittent artifacts all over the scanning screen. Ran diagnostics for the noise flor and BF in low, med and high. Failed the noise test, channels 191 failed on low, med and high. I replaced the BF board(it wasn't cheap), a month later the issue comes back, it didn't fail the noise floor test but it did fail the same channels as before, plus channels 195 and 196 on the BF med test. Replaced the PID board and now we are seeing the same issue, has anyone seen this before?

It sounds like you might have a bad probe that could be taking out these boards. ML6-15 and ML6-15-D are common problem probes. 
You might try checking the probes using the ePAT tool if you have class C access. Otherwise, I would check the pin pads on the probes to see if there are any marks or debris from gel that could be causing intermittent contact. Also inspect the user's probe cleaning processes to make sure they aren't putting probes on the machine without checking to make sure they're completely dry. 
 

I guess that begs the question, do the artifacts appear and get worse, or does it happen suddenly? 
 

Hope that helps.

It wasn’t broken until I fixed it.
