The only thing that could be a little problem is the actual socket itself - not a standard notebook size but they are available, at least over here in Europe.
To open the unit it appears to be 4 screws only and a little judicious unclipping and that's it. It should only take 5 min to unsolder the old socket and solder on the new. It is the sort of job I would trust to almost anyone that can repair circuit boards - I say almost because I know some people that are excellent with the repairs but I wouldn't let them open anything.
