can the other part be replaced too. like the power board ?

i think i have a powerboard problem and if I can replace it that would be awesome, as I love my keyboard and im

very very attached to it. I was playing a video game, nothing too harsh , and the lights went out and poof it never came back. never had a problem with this keyboard until 2 and a 1/2 years later that it did this. Its in a non-smoking room and gaming studio always kept very clean.

I would love to fix it to bring it back to life.
