I have this pcb wich is physically compatible, but i don't want to sell it.
If you want parts, ask sunny here.
I just want to tell you, your problem can't be solved with a simple pcb replace, because these PCBs had internally programmed unique parameters wich needs to transfered as well.

These PCB has external ROM IC (8 legs - U12 ), so I think it will be an easy job for a junior technician to transfer the original ROM from the patient PCB to the donor PCB.
Good luck

I have no this pcb at my hands, but i think this pcb should have parallel ROM/EEPROM instead.

I don't know if this is the correct PCB, but it has the same Marvell MCU:
