Don't over complicate the repair. It is a 15 minute job. I removed the cover of my receiver, located the three pins from looking at the pictures, looking at the front of my receiver to locate where the sensor is and followed to the back where the three pins are. With a magnifier I confirmed that the solder joints were cracked. I tipped the receiver on it's face and DID NOT remove the circuit panel. I put a hot solder iron (cheapest one you can imagine) on the pins, near the cracked solder and saw the old solder become molten. I did not use new solder. I removed the iron and moved to the next pin. Simple fix to a problem we have all suffered with too long. Thanks to those that shared the solution. Ain't this internet thing great!
