Or, I could buy another MBWE II device just like it, and swap the old

again, and return the new device back to the store. This might work

This method would most likely work, if you can find another MWBE II device
that is /exactly/ the same as the one you have.
I recently had a fried disk controller on a 300 GB Western Digital HD (the
circuit board ON the drive) and I took the controller card from an identical
drive and was able to get the data off the bad one and copy it to another
disk successfully.
