Ricardo, I'm sorry for the troubles. As you already mentioned the module was
not suitable packed for the long journey to Peru.
But I think you may cool down. The broken part is a capacitor which is not
essential for the functioning of the whole module. It's the holding
capacitor for the T&H output #8. Only this output should be affected by the
broken capacitor. The value of the capacitor is 22nF and as soon as it is
replaced even T&H #8 should work. It's a low cost part (less than 0.1 Euro
here in Europe) and I hope you can get it from an electronic shop in your
country. If you cannot find 22n even 10n or 47n will work.

Best wishes
