The bottom connector has certainly been "hacked".
Looks like several of the wires have been soldered directly to the back of the board to bypass the burnt connector.
Have you got a copy of the manual and do you have a multimeter?
Also, what suburb are you in?
Hi I'm at Bald Hills I do have a copy of the manual but I don't even know what a multimeter is. I'm too much of a novice.
Thanks for all the help so far. I'm blown away by the amount of people willing to try and help a fellow enthusiast out.
