I don't see a way to remove the printed circuit board without risk of destroying it. If there is a
confirmed problem with the printed circuit board then remove it and try a traditional balun. Based on what I saw inside my balun box, an ohm meter will show virtual 0 ohms from one side of the dipole to the other, and infinite from the center conductor to shield (with no coax connected).
As John Candle is saying, resist the temptation to presume something good, and if you're stuck, consider mentally starting over, assuming nothing.
If there is no trouble with your UHF antenna and WBIQ is on VHF 10, consider adding a high band VHF antenna. Combine the UHF and VHF signals using a UVSJ. A Y5713 or Y10713 come to mind.
