MXR M87 Compressor or Paperweight?

Bought myself an MXR M87 Compressor off the eBay a while back and for a time all was good. Great sounding pedal.

After a time, all the LEDs mysteriously stayed on for a while when the device was powered up but went back to normal after a moment.

The moments got longer until they now stay on all the time and so it's hard to know what (if anything) the pedal is doing. After some digging around, I was advisedly MXR to send it to their UK distributor who subsequently said they didn't deal with out of warranty products. I sent it off to a nice amp repair chap in Newark who was able to reproduce the fault but couldn't find a fix. 

Anyone else had this with these pedals and more to the point, do you know if it's mendable?

Here's a video of the problem

So are you saying you still get sound out of it, and it’s just that the meter doesn’t work (it just stays fully lit all the time)? You don’t actually plug an instrument into it in the video so I’m not clear on the problem.
