Thanks @nickrose,

Is this connector going to be easy to identify?  Can you give me any specific info as to how it looks, or even better, is there a picture you can refer to?

I have only found the following image of the internal board via google image search:

I would rather try sorting it myself if I can, as the unit is no longer in warranty as I have already mentioned.  Repairs will be costly and will take weeks.
