There are instructions elsewhere to hard wiring the power directly in, but again, for technically able, please don't destroy your PAW in the process of soldering if you are not sure, or break it trying to get it open.
Unlike a normal Pi there is a daughter board in the case with the main RF stuff on it.
I'm wondering if using a proper electrical contact cleaner spray will solve your problem, but again, it's a risk... from memory, the case is clipped together.
IF you replace the Pi motherboard you will need to get an update to the licence before the software will work again...
I use this for cleaning contacts and fibre ends in broadcast, but it's your call:
