there is a way...but dad may get angry....as it may go....wrong..
if his is identical to yours remove your diode d6 and swap with his...if thats the faulty part your controller will spring to life and your dads will be dead...and then take the diode to any maplin store and they will get you a replacement...
but ...using a soldering iron on printed circuit is quite a skill...you have to be very fast...i think you could probably take it to any computer repair shop and they may offer to do it but....£25 is probably the going rate...
keep us informed as ...i am sure someone else will be helped in the future by this post...
