Post a picture. You may be able to solder it.

Ive tried soldering them before, its not exactly doable, for me anyways. They are usually surface mounted, nothing to solder them onto, im afraid it might not be good news from this thread.

Interested to know if it can be fixed though

Unless the data is cost effective, I wouldn't recommend going to a specialist. As far as I know there is one or two in Bray but the best ones are in the UK.
