Thanks for the reply and advice, I have all the tools needed, plus a smd reflow unit.
I would replace the whole connector but I don't have one, so I think I'll try and replace the missing pins. I'm not sure how hard this will be, because there's not much left of the broken pins, they would need pushing out with something very small but firm.

I should really order a new connector, but I don't like waiting to see if the thing works lol
