I would just replace the board with one of the PAM8403 amplifier boards you can get on eBay for a dollar or so. It's a similar 3W, 5V class-D amp.
Audioguru: Sony didn't buy Ericsson. Sony Ericsson was a joint venture between Sony and Ericsson. (Sony's mobile phone designs were abandoned and Ericsson's were simply relabeled with the new brand.) Both parent companies continued. In 2012 Sony bought Ericsson's shares in the joint venture, making it a fully owned subsidiary of Sony, renamed Sony Mobile. (Ericsson continues to be a major vendor in cellular tower equipment, AFAIK.)
