TG-16 Controller Port Repair (pics added- it's a different problem now)

[Ryaan1234]

Let's say I... I mean my friend, bought a TG-16 at a garage sale for $20. He was so excitied that he didn't completely check out the Turbografx's condition and when he got it home he discovered that there are 2 pins broken off of the controller port. Yeah, he can still play games with this damage, but select and down don't work. Is there any way that you can repair this? I was thinking that one could unsolder the broken port and replace it with another one. Would that work?

(edit)
Okay then, here's a pic and prepare to be shocked.
Let me repeat that I've never had a TG-16 before and I honestly thought that the controller port was supposed to look like this:



I think that the controller itself broke in the port and now it looks like this. Is there any way to fix this problem? I'm guessing I should pull out the broken part with some pliers. That's the only solution that I can think of.
