There are several problems here.  First, AFAIK, Olympus does not have 
replacement circuit boards for sale anymore.  When they did, the parts alone 
would cost the end user approx. $250, then add 2-3 hours labor to do the 
work.  The only time I ever did them was when I could take the bodies to 
Olympus, they'd do the work (and wouldn't charge me for the parts).   You 
are better off finding a plain 4 which passes the 
30-second-battery-test-LED-turnoff test or invest in a clean 4T / Ti.  AND, 
plain 4s upgraded with the 4T circuit usually do NOT do super FP flash.
