Easy to repair with the proper skills and equipment.

Not recommended for the person who has only soldered a few times in
thier life.
For the novice who wants to attempt the repair, getting a hold of a
junk circuit board for any device with surface mount components is good
practice before starting. Reading the information at the repairfaq for
the ctc177 chassis series will also help.

I cannot stress enough the proper temperature on the soldering iron for
the job.
