Looking at that I'd not be suprised to find that the optoisolator that drives the Mosfet's gate terminal will have been toasted too. I'd definitely be sending that straight back.

Any thoughts about this inverter? Is it a good/ better replace?

Is the Hitachi inverter any better?

Thanks

Just seen video - there is short ribbon cable with 2 plugs - not RJ12/45 like in more advance models

I had the original Huanyang inverter. For this one you can buy extension cable. Or buy the inverter with the cable included in the offer.
