My T22 I/O Card burned, what now?

[simonc]

Hi to all ! I was ost on this forum few months ago. I had symptoms in my T22 that looked like something that I wound on many places called "overcharched capacitor" It was few months ago, but my T22 worked perfectly when I turn it ON. When I need to reset there was problem because when shut it down, it try to turn ON again sometime it takes few hours and 50-60 starts until it Turn ON. In work I didn't have any dificuliteis. Only when I close cover (TFT) sometimes (i one of 20 cases) laptop would'nt wake up, so I need to pull of battery and try again to turn it on. Now few days ago he goes into 'sleep' (I closed cover) and after reset (taking battery out) he want boot at all. All leds are turned ON, but there is nothing after that (IDENTICAL sympoms like before, but now after 50-60 tryes for start it won't start) SO I callde my friend who si expert for cell phones and other electronics, he opend my T22 and was amaze becaous I/O card was burned, like he says months and months ago, because place on that piece of hardware on few centimeters from part that have small button that puts T22 in 'sleep' was so burned and black that he need to more than 30 mins just to clan burned plastics and contacts to see whats happend there. He told me just to find new I/O Card for T22 and that it will PROBOBLY work. Now my questons are:

1) What do You think what is chance to my T22 works again if I replace I/O Card for it (FRU 26P8023) ? He also 'study' motherboard and told me that everythinks look OK and that 95% of chance that that what butned I/O Card isn't burn soething on motherboard. But I am interested if somone have similar expiriences what do You think is it posible that replacing I/O Card on T22 will solve this problem?

2) And second question if somone have some old-not working T22 for parts, whould You sell me this part (FRU 26P8023) and what would be price (I am living in Serbia and Montenegro,east Europe)?
