Here's the Yamaha Corp USA Service and Support web site:

I don't doubt that they would be able to service your AN1x.

$200?!? That's cheap, I assumed they were still selling $300-350 2nd hand.

If it were my board, I'd have it serviced. Depends on which is more important to you - the 
time and effort spent reselling and purchasing another AN1x (and maybe starting from 
scratch with different issues), or the time and effort spent working with Yamaha Service & 
Support. FWIW, I found Yamaha very agreeable to deal with.

Good luck.
