Sleepless night .. thinking of Freak 1, any experience to be shared?

 

Been thinking of pulling a trigger on Freak 1 WG ... this one is owned by my best friend. But it has just been returned from service for the third time and so far works well.  

What is actually the problem? Can it be permanently fixed? or we just have to lived with it? Anyone can share some enlightment?
