We'll I did a goof up. As I pulled the top board off the bottom to access the port for the tender markers lights, I bent 2 pins on the lower board!! They broke off too. Not sure what to do, I need to send this to a pro to fix now. I'll post a pic of my issue. Maybe some suggestions, but it's probably going to need a pro for this. George or John?

you can see the 2 pins on the end need resoldered in or maybe the whole piece needs replaced. ill leave it to the experts!
ok, I just did not want to mess something up, but if that easy to pull them out by heating it up. good. what heat setting do you recommend on the gun?
I can certainly repair it, it's not a difficult repair with the right tools. You can just send the boards, I can repair and test them after the repair.
They don't always "pull right out", that's when the fun begins. 
Too much heat and other things like traces and plated-thru holes pull right out. 
CHRIS, take grj or ggg up on thier offer. these guys are well qualified and reasonable. this is a relativly easy repair, BUT, if you dont have the experience or tools, you could be looking at a board replacement. just my 2 cents. good luck.
