G7 Franken-Repair

Hey guys,
I have G7 #1 with a damaged lens mount support (works fine except, flexes under pressure, so probably a snapped mount) and the replacement G7 #2 simply stopped powering on one day, trying to get a single functional G7 out of the deal.
Any advice on approach? Going for the frame mount repair (#2 hardware -> #1 body) seems to be the least uncertainty, but looking at this guide seems like I can just give main board transfer (#1 board> #2 body) a try with quite a bit less work, and from what I can tell fuse failure on the main board is a high chance of being the issue with #2

Any advice before I dive in?
