Serial Port on C640

I damaged one of the Pins on the Serial Port Connector of my C640.

Is this easy to replace ?

Do I have to replace the whole motherboard?

Yes, it's part of the mainboard, and yes, to fix it you'll either have to find someone who can solder a new connector on, or replace the mainboard.

The other option would be to get a PCMCIA card with a serial port on it, or a USB to serial adapter cable.
