Bummer! One possibility is to get another used one (a lot are intermittent as I have found) and fix it. You could try to desolder and resolder the whole board. I did it and got 2 functional cruise ECUs (from intermittent). It would be hard to fry it IMO. Unless you put 12V to gnd somewhere. Here in the US, there are Saab breakers which you can try to see if you can get a used one. One, Saabdepot in canada, will probably send a known bad one to you for little more than freight if he has one.
