Default Broken pin on Fishfinder

I'm looking for someone local to Monmouth County that can repair my fishfinder. It's a Lowrance Elite 5 DSI and one of the pins , for the cable connector, on the unit broke off. I know this isn't a DIY fix in that it is soldered directly to the circuit board. I just don't want to have to send it back to Lowrance for something so simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet is send it in for repair. I had the same problem on my Raymarine. I paid three electronics shops to repair it and it failed over and over.send it in. The entire board will be replaced
