Seems that board is the only problem in that set. I have thrown away a number of them because the board is not available. A "pull" board may work when you get it but it will fail in the same way. The "kits" on the internet don't work very often and, like you found out, the IC is a chore to replace (and it may not work once done). I don't try to repair them any longer. Not worth the struggle.
Surprised no legal action on this one.....
