RoboRio CAN Port Broken on Otherwise Working Rio

The CAN Port on our Rio is broken. I have a spare Rio that had an intact CAN port, so I tried to remove it to put on our main Rio. Unfortunately, I manged to break that one too. Everything else on both Rios work properly. Would it be possible to get a couple replacement CAN port or get them repaired?

 

Thanks for the help!

I sent a message so we can look at replacement devices. 

 

I want to clearly state in this thread for anyone coming behind and reading.  Don't do this.  If you have a spare roboRIO with a working CAN port, swap the entire devices.  Do not try to move the CAN port from one to the other.  I'd expect the success rate of this is around 0-1% and the level of effort is far greater than swapping the entire device into the robot.  In almost every scenario, you're going to disable the CAN ports on the previously working device.
