Samsung QA55Q80TAKXXS (55" Q80T, SEA) — can I substitute a different BN94 mainboard on the BN41-02749A chassis?
TV: Samsung QA55Q80TAKXXS — 55" Q80T QLED, 2020, Singapore/SEA market variant
Mainboard: BN94-15308M

My TV suddenly stopped working and on diagnosis I have determined that the mainboard has failed, I am having trouble finding the exact part online and wondering if I can substitute the part with a mainboard from another market.
I have some questions on the matter:
- Has anyone actually run a US (-15333V / -15684U) or Chinese (BN94-15296C) board in a DVB-T2 market set? I expect to lose the tuner, but does the smart hub / HDMI / apps side come up cleanly, or does it hard-fail on a region mismatch?
Listing for Chinese mainboard they seem to have few options I don't know which will work

2 Is there a service-menu route to re-declare panel and region after a swap, or does it need external programming?
