United Radio in Syracuse also repairs them. Another option would be to have someone reverse engineer the board but that could be expensive. Parts wise it would probably work to get a known good one and record the parts used and note the common failures. If moisture entry is a big issue you could open the module and use some conformal coating to seal it some. When I make PC boards myself I use clear lacquer to spray on 3-4 coats and seal the components. Never had an issue then and unlike using something like epoxy or silicone it is easy to remove around components for repair. Also consider replacing things like resisters or other discrete components with higher rated parts, Say there is a SMD diode that fails a lot, replace it with a larger part, that is easier with resisters and caps but doable for other parts once you know the specs for them.
