What exactly do you mean by "kaput"?

Totally dead (not spinning)?
Clicking?
Buzzing?
Sweeping noises?
Sounds normal?

Thanks, Fzabkar, I was expecting u.

Please give some tipss, how to start with that with multimeter. I am very much conversant with multimeter.

Recovery would most likely be as simple as replacing the PCB with a functional matching board and migrating IC602.

I am interested in repair rather than recovery.
