Sure the box is really dead? These very cheap cards with just the bt848 and nothing else often have a non-working i2c bus (because they have no chips connected to it, maybe even the i2c pins unconnected). The i2c initialization takes forever (minutes) on these boards due to timeouts and retries of the i2c code unless you tell the i2c layer it should make some sanity checks on the i2c bus first (options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1).
