at this point i would just get a new one, less to worry about. the MAF is fairly important so trying to fix it (if that's even possible, which i do not believe it is) might introduce more problems, only to have it fail again in short order. the PO might have purchased a used one off of eBay for cheap to get it in working order enough to sell it...
