I'm sure that Amiga Center in France can fix the 060 side, however I am also more than sure that the PPC side will be dead and beyond repair. The card has no fan over the 604e heatsink, which almost guarantees a dead PPC side, as only a few minutes without active cooling could be deadly for the hot 604e CPU on CSPPC cards.

Maybe they could pick up an old 604e from a used Mac for $10 and get a company who does BGA reworking (DCE ?) to attach the CPU to the CSPPC.  It would be expensive but still cheaper than a new CSPPC.  While they're at it, they could even get a faster one installed (I think the 604e went up to 350 or 400Mhz?).

Certainly possible, but very hard to successfully pull off. You'd need to know of a company that would want to/could do it, and you'd need to be lucky that everything works out in the end, as you'd have to assume that by just attaching a new 604e the problem would be gone. I've heard reports that someone in Italy has managed to find a local company that successfully fixed the defective PPC-side on his CSPPC.
