Unhappy Please Help - Massive Drama with my STL-11000

Hi all,

So, finally fitted all the filters that I bought and tried to give the camera a workout tonight. While I was doing some daylight testing I noticed that my filter wheel wasn't rotating, Took the cover off and discovered that the connection plug between the elctro-optical device and the camera had snapped off inside the camera. (See picture below)

So.... How bad is it?
Do you think I will be able to get replacement parts?
Do you think it is possibly repairable, and if so, will that involve a trip to the states for the camera?
Do you think a spot of hot glue gun between the PCB and connector will get me through for a while?
What do you guys think?

I honestly feel sick, I haven't pointed it at a star yet.

Thanks
