Broke HDMI Port Today - Can MoBo be swapped on a S3?

Bought a new HDMI cable today and thought it felt a little funny connecting. Once powered up, My Tivo would show the Welcome screen, then go to black. My Yamaha receiver interprets it is the Tivo powering down and goes to a screen saver.



I looked at the port carefully, and pin 17 (DDC/CEC Ground) was missing. Looking inside, I found it laying on the motherboard. There is no way I can resolder that pin.



Since the Tivo can clearly display HDMI output in the form of the Welcome screen, I assume there is some check of the HDMI that goes on after that point (?).



The power supply looks good (Capxon, but they look pristine). HD is a WD10EURX that has been acting up a little lately requiring restarts. I had put it into Standby before powering down.



So, what are my choices? Can the motherboard be swapped out? Will I have to pay Tivo $149 to do it in order to transfer my lifetime service? Or is pin 17 irrelevant and I have another problem on my hands besides the HDMI port?



TIA
