There are no parts on the main circuit that can be replaced individually.  The 2
ICs used are of the metal can type (with a dozen lens or so)., and some of the
legs go through the main board and are soldered to a secondary board underneath.
Usually cleaning and adjusting certain levers will relieve the problems.  
Certain
service centers have circuits but would usually charge $60 just for the part.
