    Does anyone know of anywhere I could get a circuit board repaired?

    A small section of the board has snapped off, about 10 circuits have been severed. Most of the functions still work on the board but unfortunately one of the broken circuits controls an important function.

    sorry but it seems like the board is unrepairable if something like that happens.

    I don't know where you could get it repaired however I'd say if you could find someone with a bit of practical electronics knowledge they could do it for you pretty easily. I have seen circuit boards which have cut traces repaired by soldering a jumper wire either side of the cut to "bridge the gap"

    yes but a piece of the board is broken off, which would make the job a very mess and unreilable.

    If it's a multi-layer PCB then it's unrepairable. If it's a single layer board with comparatively large tracks then you could possibly close them again with either a soldering iron or a PCB repair pen.
