Realize the cameras I'm working on are NOT Nikons, so a little off topic to this thread.
Yes, if the boards could be repaired, likewise, the boards already on cameras out there could be repaired too.
I do have an idea on it. Since testing the PC board outside of a camera would require a battery, ten switches and three potentiometers, the idea is to use a camera body as the source of the switches and potentiometers. That is turn a camera body into a test device; take out the board and run jumpers from every wire that went to the PC board to a bus outside the camera body. Then one could test any PC board for that camera by hooking to the bus.
Maybe a project for this winter.
