I have to say that I am not all that good with a soldering iron myself... but this repair was very easy. And if you do shag it up (solder bridges and the like) maybe you could send it away after. Fire up the iron and try a few similar type procedures on old junk boards and see how it goes. Just make sure when you are in your empeg that you don't hit anything with the hot iron that you shouldn't.
