Default Source for ABB ACS drive repair manual / schematic?

In case no-one noticed my attempt to hijack the 10EE motor thread, does
anyone have or know where I can get a service / repair manual or schematic
for the ABB ACS-301-4P9-3 VFD? I have it up and working (spins the drive,
speed control and fwd/rev work) but DHL managed to drop it (from quite a
height) in transit and there's no DC to the control/programming panel so I
can't get in and set the various motor and braking parameters... The control
board (not the programming panel, the top board in the main unit) is all
surface-mount and multi-layer, and is going to be a sod to trace, although
no so hard to add a few repair jumper-wires if I can find what's broken and
where.

I've tried ABB's UK distributors, their answer was "we don't keep
spares/manuals/schematics for anything that old so buy a new one"!

I'd rather not, as it's oldish and so has been easily hacked to fool it into
thinking it has 415V in and thus it can run the Difficult Motor in my
Holbrook (England's Monarch?) C13 - 415v only, 3-phase, 3 sets of windings
for the 3 speeds - and, of course, I'm cheap and broke

Thanks all,
Dave H.
