Some information about working with surface mount devices here:

If you don't have appropriate soldering equipment and experience, the main risk is damage to tracks and solder pads on the board.

If you can identify that one of the transistors is shorted and preventing the board from booting up, eg by measurement with a meter, but don't have soldering equipment, you may be able to carefully cut the transistor leads using a brand new blade in a Stanley knife. That could achieve Lex's second repair alternative.
