Coin Cell Battery Slot

My computer started acting strange when booting up and I was told it was the coin cell battery (the CR 2032) needed changing.   We took the computer apart and got the old battery out and a new one in but the Coin Cell Battery Slot had come unsoldered from the board so there was no connection.   Can the current slot equipment be re-soldered to the main board or do I have to purchase a whole new board?

It can probably be re-soldered or replaced -- with a shop having the tools and expertise to do that - but it may cost as much as replacing the board (figure on $150 or more), depending on the system model.
