OK so I got a sharp qa 2500 for cheap it was untested locally so I brought it home and Plugged it in and It said No signal, so Fine I try and get the signal But eventually I hear a ratteling in the panel so I crack him open and look for the rattle, I find a Little circuit bord is broke off its sodering, So My question is this Is there a easier way to fix this or do I need to bring it to a pc repair place and have them do it ( bout how much would it cost, its 3 contacts)or can I buy the microsodering stuff and do it myself, there is no guarentee that it will work once I do this But Hey its worth a shot. Any input on any front would be appreciated thanks.
I don't know your local PC shop, but it's unlikely they are equipped for doing this kind of repair. If they are, and they are willing to do it, you’re lucky. They shouldn’t charge you that much for 3 solderings.
If you never soldered or never plan to solder, finding someone doing it for you will be much cheaper than buying good equipment.

you got it cheap AND it was untested...seems like they purposely screwed u, why else would they sell a 2500 for cheap.they sold it "as is" right?
you should of got them to test it or taken some pre-cautionary tactic.
my 1200 sez "no signal" when theres nothing plugged in or if you dont wiggle it right,this is only for composite though....any ways let us know how everything goes😉

Negative I got it locally without a Power supply for 20 bucks thats why It was untested beacuse they just didnt have the power cord. so Im not mad about that at all,Now Im just deciding on where is the best place to potentially fix this???Hummmm I'll have to call around. 
ooh! 20$ good/bad deal! lol u can sell it for more on ebay even if its messed up 🙂
if you fix this bad boy then you will be 400$ richer! maybe you can donate to the ND fund 😉 lol
