Well, I'm still determined to see if I can't at least effect some kind of kludge (yes, I am that stubborn). I might be able to just bypass the damaged pads if I can just figure out what components go there; just need a couple of leetle caps and resistors to fix this $300 baby, and judging from the schematics nothing connects through to the other board side. I now see that my posting of a link to schematics is redundant since there is already a thread (scroll down!) on it. Problem is that this PDF, which seems to be scattered throughout the web, isn't sharp enough to see details, such as the components I'm concerned with (F3 on the "Component finders" page).
Is there anybody reading this who might happen to have a hard copy and who would be kind enough to share with me which they are? Also, I think some of the resistors are labeled with the value "10R"--what does that signify?

Thanks much for all your input!
