You could try to hotflash the chip in another board as long as the flash
interface is compatible (board can be totally incompatible, doesn't
matter). Simply find out the model number printed on the old flash chip
(you may have to remove a sticker first) and tell us. We can then tell
you which other boards (or flash chips) are compatible. That gets you up
and running fast.
