If it is just a simple wire soldered to the board you can replace that, I found some youtube videos some time back when I had to do a fix on a spektrum receiver.

You basically tin up the wire and get it nice and stiff and then line it up on the hole on the board and apply quick heat from the bottom passing the wire through trimming off the extra.

Search for the video if you have the DIY spirit otherwise find a solder pro in the area to help.
