DIY Car Computer replacement in a Model 3

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I have a Model 3 from 2021 that is out of warranty. Due to water ingress and condensation, both circuit boards in the car computer are corroded. After some SMD rework, i got the MCU circuit board back to life. However, the autopilot circuit board is not repairable.

Tesla wants a lot of money to officially replace the Car Computer, this is why i want to replace myself.
Maybe we have someone on the forum who could help me with reprogramming a used one?

Thank you very much!
