seems to me an esier fix would be to order a spare battery and stand alone charger...

Trust me, it is not an easy task, even for a pro

Never opened one of these but I assume it's part of the main board and ya... that's not really plausible...

Surface mount on the main circuit board.
I had a coworker, who has been repairing electronics for a living for the last 30 years fix mine. He had to bust out the micro soldering iron and the magnifying eyepiece to solder it back on to the board.
I've done my fair share of circuit repairs myself, but its just way to damn small. 4 connections in the space that's less than 1/4 of an inch

ya I can imagine the possibility of damaging adjacent circuits to be quite high...

I had that probably but I picked up a spare battery nd a external charger only problem the external charger takes much longer to charge so i just repaired my charger port for about 35bucks
