If the 'PCB' is damaged beyond repair then transplanting NAND chips to a matching donor can be tried. This only works if the firmware is on the NAND chips themselves and involves unsoldering and re-balling the NAND chips. While this can be done using relatively inexpensive tools by anyone IMO, not making things worse requires experience and what the German's refer to as FingerSpitzenGefuhl (I hope I spelled that right, I am not German).
