That same thing happened to me...and what i did is I took it down to my local Radio Shack...and they had a solder iron and just fixed it right in the store...if your Radio Shack doesn't have a soldering iron, and you do, look up on the internet on how to solder...then you can do it

Just get a cheap soldering iron kit. It will come in handy for future use.

$15-$20 sounds right. soldering irons are really handy, a must have for RC tuning.

How hard is soldering and how do you use it?

Not very hard at all. Plug in or use butane gas. Heat up solder & it "drips" on the item. Then it cools & it is ready to use. It just takes a bit of practice, not much

the solder drips onto the area when the soldering iron touches it...solder it kinda like soft metal...image the solder as wax, and the soldering iron like a candle

I think one of the best ways to learn it is by doing it. Try to solder 2 wires together or something like that. It gets easier everytime that you use it.
