Surface mount soldering is a great new skill to learn. The only current difference in being able to repair new vs old.
Specifically if in the future boards are not available.
But otherwise. Just enjoy your pins.

Quoted from AAAV8R:Where would a guy learn this skill? I saw there were a few videos on YouTube. Any recommendations on a kit for learning and for actual use?
Also, let's take the LED that went out on my board. How do you find out which part that is? Who would carry it?
Thanks again.
Buy a surface mount hot air station. Amazon etc. And grab some old computer or even cell phones you have around and start practicing.
Just desolider parts and solider them back on
Watch vids etc.
Not as bad as it seems, once you get the hang of it.
