We had a retired PAF officer a while back say that 2 were being repaired and one other had to be replaced entirely. Around the time he said that, the PAF imported another Saab 2000. Then in the recent MoDP report, the DGDP-A listed "Recovery of 4th AEW&C" at around $125 m. So one was a goner, but it has or will be replaced as part of a fresh order of 3 new Erieye, bringing the fleet to its originally planned force of 6.
it make sense, to end with by 2020 PAF will be flying 6 saab 2000 erieye ER. nevertheless a good number specially if coupled with 4 ZDK-03. 10 AEWCS for size of Pakistan is definitely a good number. specially when we need just 3 to cover the entire land mass.
