Here is a very good link to a youtube soldering tutorial. I find the tutorial very easy to follow, not rushed. It maybe useful to someone planning to try there own repairs. This video is one of three. The first shows the tools required. The third is a tutorial on suface mount soldering.

Thanks Minty, this is an invaluable resource for those venturing into "simple" repairs.
