I took it to an electronics shop here in Burnaby, just your average TV/VCR/Stereo repair shop. I explained how absolutely critical is was that he let me know if could solder the SMD or not - cause I don't want to loose my Rio! The guy was confident he could, and charged me $20 Canadian - not a bad price, really.
