Can't be that expensive to take the cover off, undo a screw or two, unsolder some connections, drop in a new CF socket , and reverse the process.
Sorry Ian, all this stuff is surface mounted now and soldering is done by a surface wave soldering machine. Stick a weller in there and you wil screw it up completely. The board needs to be replaced and depending on which card is crook, it may also need to be reloaded with firmware to make it work again. The good old days are long gone mate.
