Dodgy RJ45 Socket

(Inspiron 510m) My RJ45 ethernet connection is very tempremental, it often takes a bit if wiggleing and reconnecting and then losses connection if i move my laptop or knock the desk or anything (very annoying).

I've seen posts on here about the pins loosing their springiness or dammage to the main board due to repeated inserting and removal of the cable. Other than removal of the display and palm rest and having a good look i'm not sure what my next move should be. Is the socket replaceable (easily) or is a a new main board! (Its now out of warrenty, and i'm considering replacing but thats not the point and i need it in the interim anyway)

Is it worth trying to bend the pins down with some fine tweezers of is that just risking me bending them all over the place and rendering it totaly useless?
