Video Card Slot

Does anyone know if you can replace a damaged video card slot? A corner of
it is chipped off and a pin is sticking out at a weird angle. Do I need a
new motherboard or is there a way to undo the soldered slot and re solder
another one into the motherboard?

Theoretically its possible, but unless youre very gifted with soldering
abilities theres very little chance of it working.
Buy a new one if the slot doesnt work.

Just curious, how did you break it?

Time for a new motherboard, I'm afraid.
