These things are throw away items and lose efficiency every crop cycle, so it might just be SAFER and better to upgrade.

some corrossion there? resolder old one? find some little metal clips to match or cut to size etc? good luck. as long as you can reconnect the power, it'll turn back on just fine.

if that's all that's broken on it and it did not burn anything else out, that is a easy fix. But contact customer service first and see if they will send you a new one, then if they say toss the old one out get someone who knows how to solder to fix them contention points. not hard at all. heat gun might be to broad and damage the surrounding board. Even some phone repair places can do this. or electrics repair shops. Good Luck!

Also, when in doubt it may not hurt to try manufacturer and "explain what happened" and see if it's covered under a warranty, if not BE CAREFULL FOR FIRES. It would be a shame to rig up something unstable, incorrect, or short out, and burn stuff up...yikes! it might be worth the extra, and even a bitter sweet opportunity maybe to up-grade 🤷

Actually...there is a way to solder cobs/reconnect them in series to re-light. There is alot of Ytube videos showing how to do so with silver solder, flux, and heat gun. That doodad looks as if It just needs to be re-sodered down.
