You need to move the PCB's internal program to the new pcb.
Doomer are in Chicago.
He can help you, if you want.

replace the ( U12 IC ) (ROM) in the Fried PCB with the one in your new PCB
this should do the job. If not then it's translator problem and/or FW problem
and if you need your data back in this case you will need to send it to a pro
good luck
