Dead Antminer s5

Hi guys my antminer s5 is dead, the beagle bone died (already did the micro sd reimaging thing, it didn't work), I don't want to wait 3 weeks and spent 62$ buying a BB from amazon when i have no bullet proof tutorial about how to make it work (and add 2 months to ROI).

I ask for your help because i had seen that the daughter board has two empty data connector for hashing blades and an empty fan connector.

So my question is, what does it takes to build a 4 blades s5?

      A) Do I just connect the two blades and fan from my broken antminer?

      B) Connect the 2 hashing blades, and intercept the fan cables of  good miner and splice them with the fan of my broken miner?

I was wondering if there is no damaging side effect from doing this?

I have the Jan 07  Firmware, the one that came with the 5 machines.

Any help or advice that you could provide will be really appreciated .
