If you can ship it to UK, I can help with this.

It's not a straightforward PCB swap, these drives have unique NVRAM info on them which needs to be transferred.

PM me if interested.

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.

Check the components in this photo clip:

The NVRAM information is stored in two ICs at locations U5 and U7. If you need to replace your board, your local TV/AV repair shop should be able to transfer these chips for you.
