HP41C Corroded Battery Flex PCB - Help

Hello, Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I just discovered battery corrosion in my 41C. I gently cleaned all I could easily access and loaded new/fresh N batteries. But would not turn on. I then tried, without success, most of the tips and tricks for resetting a 41C (most described here: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap ... i?read=149 ). But, alas, it still will not turn on. So, after some digging looks like could be some fatal corrosion lurking still in the hidden portions of the 41C. I found that Diego Diaz developed a few years back (circa 2005) a REALLY nice replacement flex PCB, with instructions (http://www.clonix41.org/Maintenance/IO_ ... _Block.htm).
Trouble is I can't seem to find if this is available for purchase. Can someone kindly post any information on this?
Thanks very much!
Brian
