82240B printhead fried itself in a puff of smoke
A few days ago, my 82240B printhead fried itself in a puff of smoke!

I quickly took out the batteries but the damage was done and the printer won't print anymore. It moves the head in response to commands and advances the paper but nothing actually appears anymore. Looks like the printhead is fried. Presumably I'm now out of luck fixing this, right?

P.S. I've had some advice that maybe a new printer core could be swapped in - anyone know if this is possible and where I would get such a thing (incl. part number)?
