It's impossible to estimate from the distance what's wrong. I'd recommend to send in the module for repair if you have no experience in electronics and soldering. If you want to try the repair yourself: First of all I'd recommend to replace all integrated circuits. In most cases this solves the problems. If this does not help I'd replace the transistors. If even this does not help the difficult part of the repair begins. And please: turn off the system when you remove, install or swap modules !
