My Toshiba laptop is in need of repair. Where the PCMCIA slot attaches to the motherboard is broken.

Am I totally screwed? (i.e.- new motherboard and big bucks) or can a repair service solder a new connection?

Anyone have any good experiences with motherboard repair and have any good advice?

thanks for any advice!
