Default Can you repair a lipo battery?

I have a Turnigy 2.2 lipo battery that will not charge. The charger gives me a connection error as if a lead came disconnected. My LHS checked the cable and said there is no signal flow through one of the plug wires - can't remember which one) You can get a signal by checking the balance plug however. Their guess is it's a bad solder connection.

Can you re-solder the charge plug wires?

Yes, I"d return it, but I ordered it from HobbyKing which is located in Hong Kong. The cheapest S&H was $14 which is the same cost as buying and shipping a brand new one.
