I will now repair the lip and search for another unit , this one has been eaten away too! . The next unit I get , I will drill some drainage holes in the cover and then reassemble , purely as a secondary precaution.

Well remove and replace the faulty parts. Should be easy enough, go to Radio Shack for the parts. The board is fine, just repair it.
