You can not just swap boards on this one. There is more to it than a simple pcb swap on this one

If you upload a detailed photo, one of us may be able to help you repair your board. Many times the problem is only a shorted diode, in which case it can simply be removed. There may also be an open fuse or resistor.

Good luck.

It's the DCM not the FW.
You have to transfer the original ROM to the new PCB. Your PCB # would be 1335-005 or 1393, I can't remember exactly.

2nd option : send it to a pro.

Good luck
