If you wanted to repair it for testing purposes, you'd need to crack it open and identify which FETs are shorted and replace them.
If you don't know what FETs are, how to identify shorted ones, and how to replace a surface-mount part, then I'd advise you to cut your losses and give it up for dead.

Actually according to R58 this year, repairs are legal in 2012 as long as they function identically to the original.
