Of course the example above contains made-up public and private keys

Are you certain it's a private key?

This is an example.
By the way: it is not too difficult to create a program which resolves single-char-errors in base58check
I can do it today. May be.
But.
What I want to say.
You should run it on your computer, you should not give me your broken private key!
Because I am not sure of myself Grin

My very dirty code (with my test example!):

Code:

static const char base58Characters[59] = "123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz";
   static const QByteArray p ( "L4rK1yDtCWekvXuE6oXD9jCYfFNV2cWRpVuPLBCU2z8TrisoyY1" ); // missing character
   for ( int i ( 0 ); i <= p.size ( ); i++ )
   {
   printf ( "." );
   for ( int j ( 0 ); base58Characters [j]; j++ )
   {
   QByteArray tmp ( p );
   tmp.insert ( i, base58Characters [j] );
   if ( MyKey32::fromWifCheck ( tmp.constData ( ) ) )
   {
   _trace ( "" );
   _trace ( MyKey32::fromWif ( tmp.constData ( ) ).toStringWif ( true ) );
   _trace ( MyKey32::fromWif ( tmp.constData ( ) ).getAddressHashCompressed ( ).toString ( ) );
   }
   }
   }

And the console output:
.......................................
"L4rK1yDtCWekvXuE6oXD9jCYfFNV2cWRpVuPLBcCU2z8TrisoyY1"
"1F3sAm6ZtwLAUnj7d38pGFxtP3RVEvtsbV"
