With your experience level you are best off buying a rebuilt board. Keep this one just in case you decide to get into board work as it could be a practice piece at the least if not salvageable with a lot of work. With patience you can find them for about $100 properly rebuilt on this site. You can find them on ebay for about $145 claiming to be properly rebuilt but trust me from my experience they are NOT even though the seller has a mile long listing bragging about their product.

I have 4 rebuilt (?) driver boards. one done by one of the competent repair guys, put it in and it locked a coil and blew a fuse, bench tested it and all lamp matrix lights were on steady, retested it weeks later and the lights were off, not sure if something was stuck or what. I have not reinstalled it to see. I also have 3 more that bench test OK (all new connectors, upgraded 5W resistors). None have been "in game tested" to the point where I would feel comfortable selling to someone as 100% working until I install and verify all is working properly. If you are unable to find something you are comfortable with, let me know and I can game test to verify one of these for you.
