Default Humax TV problem

I have a Humax LU23 LCD TV where the FreeView tuner died. The analogue one
still worked - but of course no analogue anymore. When attempting to find
stations, it would tune through the analogue band, then switch to FreeView
and stop. Common problem with them, I've found, after Googling. The SCART
input etc still works just fine and it has an excellent picture.

Bought a used 'motherboard' which includes the tuner from Ebay which
sorted it. For all of a day. ;-(

Next time I tried it, flashing screen and nothing worked at all. So I'd
guess that board had an intermittent but different fault?

Before I junk it I'm considering swapping the tuner assembly from the
'new' board to the old - that's about all i can try as everything else is
surface mount. Or is the control which makes it tune etc likely to come
from somewhere else? I can't find a schematic for it anywhere.
